Weight Classes

• Wrestlers will be weighed frequently and before all tournaments and some select dual meets.
• Wrestlers are not allowed to compete in divisions greater than two weight categories (varsity competition) above.

Weigh-in Procedures:

• Is good - but currently is not used because we are not part of a league.  We are at-large which is preferred because we need the flexibility to compete with what matches our skill levels.

• The team season ends on the 3rd Saturday of February at the Placer/Nevada County Championships.  Individuals, if they qualify, may continue till the T.O.C.’s Tourney (2nd Saturday of March).
• Del Oro hosts TOC’s.  We may host this year’s county which is exciting!

WEIGHT CLASSES

We will weigh all wrestlers frequently and before meets and tournaments.  Each wrestler will be placed in a weight class where they will compete against other wrestlers within that same class.  For instance, a 70# wrestler would not compete in the 83# weight class.  The weight classes for junior high wrestlers are as follows:

66, 70, 76, 83, 89, 95, 100, 103, 108, 112, 116, 122, 128, 135, 142, 153, 168, 185, 205, and 235 lbs.
 

Weigh-ins:

Procedures;  (League meets only)

• Weigh-ins will take place at all dual meets for Varsity wrestlers only.  J.V. wrestlers will not weigh in (coaches’ honor) and will wrestle first.  During the J.V. match all Varsity will weigh-in and warm-up.  Varsity will wrestle immediately at the conclusion of the J.V. match.  If both coaches agree changes to the above format can be made (Varsity wrestles first, no weigh-in for Varsity, etc.)
• Athletes must stay in the weigh-in area until they complete their weigh-in
• Step on scale – may step off one time – use restroom facilities to relieve themselves only.  May not use restroom facilities for any weight cutting purposes – (i.e., throwing up and/or any other dehydration methods)
