2024 – 2025 Wrestling Season Info
There is a new structure for the 2024 – 2025 season based on years of experience and skill level.

• There will be Beginner, Fundamentals, and Developed with each level having it’s own benchmark.
• Every wrestler has the ability to graduate to the next level by demonstrating proficient skills identified as core to each level.

There will be an independent evaluator facilitating the skills assessment and the evaluation will take place once a month throughout the season while wrestlers develop. If a wrester demonstrates the skills to move to the next level, they’ll join the next level practice sessions at their next scheduled practice. If any skills aren’t achieved at the evaluation, only the skills not achieved will be looked at for the next evaluation. The goal is to continually show progress throughout the season.
