How It Works
We welcome Fairfield School district residents who are:
Our wrestling program is 2 tiered: Instructional/Novice & Experienced – same curriculum – different pace
Phase I moves at a slower pace and is geared toward novice wrestlers and those who want/need a lighter commitment. The season runs from the first of November through mid-February ending with the CYW City Tournament and attendance at the banquet in March/April.
Phase II moves at a faster pace geared toward more experienced/serious wrestlers and requires a greater commitment. The CYW league season runs from the first week of November and ends mid-February with the CYW City Tournament. For those choosing to pursue the Ohio Grade School State Tournament in March, the club will provide a post CYW season preparation schedule; times, locations, and potential cost to be determined.
The club sponsors a party for all FYWC wrestlers in March/April after the OAC State Tournament.

While there's no set age requirement for youth wrestling programs, most programs require children to be at least 4 years old. However, the focus is more on the child's maturity level than their age. It's essential for the child to be able to take direction, pay attention, and participate in a structured activity. Some children may not be mature enough to handle the physical and mental demands of wrestling, while others may thrive on the challenge. Ultimately, the decision to enroll a child in a youth wrestling program should be based on the child's individual readiness, not just their age.
A singlet is provided as part of your wrestler's registration fee.
Wrestling shoes: Wrestling shoes are constructed specifically for wrestling and provide traction and support on the mat. They typically have a thin sole and a high-cut design to support ankle movement.
Headgear: Headgear is designed to protect the wrestler's ears and head during matches. It's often required for safety reasons.

During practices, be attentive, respectful, and work hard, always giving 100% effort.
Additionally, help out your teammates and maintain a good standard as partners by having patience.

Focus when in the hole and stay where you're supposed to. Do not get distracted by comments from other wrestlers and wait until you have a coach present before starting to wrestle.

Act like a champion whether you win or lose and listen to your coach's post-match talk, finally, don't forget to thank your parents for their support! BIG HUG!

As a coach, there are certain expectations you must fulfill.
Firstly, maintain a positive attitude and enjoy yourself while coaching.
Remember that there are no dads on the mats, only coaches.
Two-deep leadership is mandatory and there should always be two adults present when alone with a child that is not your own.
During practice, ensure coaching is provided to all wrestlers, not only your own child.
It is important to practice proper praise and balance out negatives with positives, ending on a positive note.
Coaches should also take the time to identify what each wrestler excels at and be patient with them.
During meets and tournaments, coaches need to focus on winning ways and practice proper professionalism.
Pay attention to, support, coach and motivate each and every wrestler positively.
During matches, encourage aggressiveness and going hard! Always maintain control of your emotions and talk strategy with your wrestler.
It is important also to be an advocate for your wrestler during any match issues and make necessary choices.
Post-match debriefing should be done with a focus on proper praise, and balancing negatives with positives, ending on a positive note.
Finally, it is recommended that coaches avoid coaching their own child, as it is the club's preference.

First and foremost, maintain a positive attitude and enjoy yourself while supporting your wrestler.
Regardless of whether they win or lose, show them that you love them! It's important to remember that they are only 6 to 12 years old and their wellbeing and enjoyment should be the priority.
During practices, make sure your wrestler is in the room 10 minutes before it starts and be present 10 minutes before it ends. Due to room limitations, it is preferred that you do not stay in the room. If you choose to stay, sit quietly against the walls away from where your wrestler normally practices.
The coaches should be the only voices heard and all children should sit quietly with their parents, with no interaction except during breaks called by a coach.
During tournaments, remain in the stands and cheer loudly while having fun. Let the coaches handle the coaching and focus on supporting every child.
For team tournaments, it's important to stay till the end and support the team. During matches, stay in the stands and cheer until you can no longer talk! Show your wrestler that you love them regardless of the outcome.
Be positive at all times and remember that they are only young and still learning and growing.

-Only the coaches should be heard speaking.
-All children must sit quietly with their parent.
