Effort, Respect and Teamwork are behaviors that have a significant impact on our FOUR CORE VALUES and will be recognized each week with our Tiger Tough Award. Our coaches will select a “Tiger Tough” wrestler each week from the Tiny Tigers and Youth Tigers. The selection will be based on behaviors reflected on the wrestling mat at practice and tournaments and behaviors reflected off the wrestling mat. This is a coveted award and there are not enough to give to every wrestler. Each wrestler will receive a season participation award.

The Farmington Wrestling Club offers a shoe and singlet rental option for the season. We require a separate check for each item checked out. Deposit is $50 for each item. We do our best to fit the needs of all wrestlers, but please understand we may not have enough singlets for each wrestler and we may not have the shoe size of each wrestler. These are checked out on a first come first serve basis. Check-out dates are to be determined and will be communicated to registered wrestlers via email.

You are not required to take your youth wrestler to any tournaments.  However while practice is great, it helps your wrestler take the next step by seeing their hard work in practice pay off in a tournament setting. There are two types of individual tournaments: Skill based and MN/USA State Qualifiers.

Skill based tournaments are perfect for the beginning wrestler.  They allow you to select your wrestlers skill level and will try to pair up kids accordingly to grade, size and skill. Regardless of years in the sport until your wrestler has won a couple different tournaments we encourage you to select 'Beginner' as the skill level.  There are minimal additional fees for these tournaments paid directly to the tournament when you arrive, entry and spectator fees.

Our Coaches encourage you to attend the tournaments that we have selected on our schedule.  This will allow us to travel, warm-up and socialize as a team. Information prior to each tournament will be communicated via TeamSnap.

Farmington also hosts a skill based home tournament.  Your entry for this tournament is covered in your registration fee.

The second type of tournaments are MN/USA State Qualifiers. These do tend to have a higher level of competition.  Wrestlers are divided by age and weight, skill is not factored into your bracket placement. For more information on MN/USA State Tournament and how to attend as part of the Farmington Wrestling community click here.

The Guillotine, www.theguillotine.com is the best website view a list of tournaments around the state.

Farmington takes a youth team to number of different tournaments throughout the season.  There is a sign-up sheet at practice.  If your child is interested in participating, please sign-up.  Final team, weights, and placement will be up to the coach and will be communicated at practice.

It takes a lot of teamwork to run a successful wrestling program.  A volunteer check of $300 per family will be collected prior to the second week of practice.  Our goal is to get more parents involved in the program not cash checks.

• Volunteer slots are open to any Farmington Wrestling Family
• You do not have to volunteer at an event you have a child participating in
• Coaching in the youth program fulfills all volunteer requirements for your family (Farmington Wrestling Club will review, approve, and background check all coaches that anticipate satisfying their volunteer requirement.)

Required Hours

• Tiny Tigers - 6 Hours
• Youth/MS/High School - 10 Hours
• 2 or More Wrestlers (any age) - 10 Hours

In the State on MN each year more and more girls come out to compete on the mat. This growth has began to open up more options for girls to join teams not only to compete with the boys but many opportunities to compete with other girls. Last year Farmington had 3 girls place at the MN/USA State Tournament in the girls only division.  We hope to add to that each year!

Girls who join Farmington wrestling will practice and compete with boys. We will also share other local options for those interested for girls only practices and opportunities.  If you are the parent of a girl wrestler and want more information regarding these opportunities please reach out to the Coaches.
