5th-8th graders interested in joining the jr high wrestling team need to sign up on 8 to 18. Practices are slated to begin on November 27. 5th and 6th graders who are playing basketball may also join the wrestling team. During the basketball season, basketball activities will take priority and the athletes may attend wrestling activities when there is no conflict. The basketball season is over by winter break and wrestling will still have most of its season left at that point. Please reach out with any questions regarding this.
