Ravenwood Wrestling

Team Rules, Expectations, and Consequences

 

1.             Attend every practice and be on time unless you have been excused prior to

practice.  Excuses after the fact are considered unexcused.  All absences will have a note from a   professional or student services.

 

2.             Speak, act, and talk like a winner.  A negative attitude, “Hot-Headed” actions, and

                gutter language will no be tolerated.  ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!

 

3.             You will dress appropriately (shirt, tie, dress pants) on trips and always represent the school in a positive way.

 

4.             Be MEAN BUT CLEAN.

 

5.             You are expected to practice and wrestle with extreme intensity and attitude.

 

6.             You are expected to exhibit personal honesty in all that you do- in the classroom, at weigh-ins, and in all your endeavors.

 

7.             Fans aren’t allowed at the bench area during dual meets.  And you are to stay in the bench area.

 

8.             During weigh-ins you will remain quiet.  You will not eat until after weigh-ins are over and either we or the opposing team have left the weigh-in area.

 

9.             You will not talk to the referee, unless he asks you a question.  That is my job.

 

10.           During breaks in the action (during your match) look at me for instruction.

 

11.           You will not throw your headgear, cuss, lose your temper, etc.

 

12.           All team members are expected to stay with the team until everyone is done wrestling (dual meets and tournaments).  All team members are expected to ride the bus home from dual meets (we win together and lose together).  Exceptions can be made in extreme cases.

 

13.           We wrestle over Christmas.  Please make the appropriate arrangements so that we can continue on our quest to be champions. 

 

Everyone involved with the wrestling program (athletes, parents, coaches, etc.), here at Ravenwood, is part of a family.  No one person is more important than another.  Everyone has a roll in this program and we should all work hard to be on the same page.

Justice does not mean equal treatment for all.  The coaching staff reserves the right to deal with each circumstance on an individual basis as deemed necessary and appropriate.
