TIME SLOTS
PLEASE NOTIFY US ASAP IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL NIGHT BEFORE OR DAY OF EVENT UNLESS TRULY UNANTICIPATED! IT'S NOT FAIR TO OTHER WRESTLERS OR OUR STAFF.
EMAIL US HERE if you must cancel....OR text 703-509-3728 with wrestler's name...or respond to the text message reminder all participants receive.
Due to excessive, unannounced "no-shows" and late arrivals in the past, we strictly enforce existing policies (click here to review policy). This is not soccer or basketball---Wrestling is a physical combat sport and opponents must be of similar age/weight/experience level. When wrestlers fail to show up (or arrive late), it negatively affects teammates, coaches, families, and our all-volunteer staff. To compete in this great sport, parents/guardians must follow the instructions clearly stated here.

Admission Fee. We pay high school students to work score tables and perform other tasks so parents don't have to volunteer. To offset this cost, we charge a very modest admission fee. Cash or Venmo only. Be proud you're helping a student who wants to work!
Volunteers. While we pay table workers and officials, we appreciate everyone who offers to help in other ways. We are a 501(3) nonprofit run by volunteers. If you signed up to help out, we'll contact you if we need assistance. Thank you!
No Show/Late Arrival Policy. Did we mention this yet?! Seriously, super super important. We make few exceptions---this is why we keep repeating it. Full policy is listed on this page.
