Basha Wrestling
Rules and Expectations
The goal of our program is to produce athletes who are in superior condition and can outlast any opponent using proper technique. We will achieve this goal through intense drilling of correct technique and focus on high percentage moves. Our Wrestlers will develop an aggressive attitude and always be on the attack. In order to accomplish these goals our Wrestlers must be DISCIPLINED. These rules are put in place to make you a better Wrestler. Without discipline you will never reach your potential.
Violation of team rules can result in dismissal from the team and forfeiture of a letter or individual awards.

Guidelines for a Successful Season
- Be on time for all practices. Practice times are: Boys from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM and Girls from 4:30 PM to 6pm. Saturday’s and Holidays we will practice at 8 a.m. (Everyone)
- Be Coachable – Listen, Do what you are told, Be Successful.
- Be Positive, Don’t talk down or put down your teammates.
- Attitude/Character - Your behavior reflects our Team, our School and your Family. Be respectful and show good sportsmanship, this includes Foul language.
- Prevent Skin Infections: Shower after all practices/clean your practice gear. Keep clean shirts in your locker at all times. Skin check yourself everyday. Report any problems. Due to the nature of our sport (bodily contact), it would be wise to always have antibacterial soap and an anti-fungal medication. Lotrimin, Tinactin, or Lamisil are effective and can be purchased at the supermarket.
- Practices are designed to improve conditioning and skill, not to lose weight! No plastic sweats or sweat shirts or pants are allowed during practice. If you condition your body properly, you will not have a weight problem. Body composition measurements are much better indicators of your fitness level and give us a clearer picture of what weight class you should be competing in. The scale really does not tell you very much. We will keep up to date records of your body composition (body fat). This will help you and the coaching staff determine what would be the best weight-class for you to compete in.
- “Associate with people of good qualities, preferably your teammates. Work hard and your dedication will pay off.”
