Welcome to the Hoover Wrestling Club web page.

We are under construction so please check back often for updates.

 

The Hoover Wrestling Club sign-ups start August 18 online. We are providing the online registration without payment to get          an idea early of how much equipment we will need to acquire. If you think you would like to wrestle with us, please fill out the Online Registration Click here to Register Online. Payment, waivers and copies of birth certificates can be brought in on the sign-up nights in October or November. You will be able to download copies of all of our forms from our website.

Several parents have called asking for season dates.  Our season starts with Practice on November 10.  Beginner practices on Monday nights, 6pm-7:30pm.  Advanced Practices are Tuesday nights 6pm-8pm.  Combined practice is Thursday nights, 6pm-8pm.  The Tournaments start in December.  These tournaments are always on Saturday.  Tournaments are hosted all over our area.  Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Alabaster, Trussville, Clay Chalkville, Oak Grove, Southside and Prattville host tournaments as well as others.  The time frame your child wrestles will almost always be the same between tournaments.  The final tournament is the State tournament on February 14.

You will need a signed medical waiver, registration form (if not completed online), and copy of your child's birth certificate.

We will be sizing for singlets, as well as spirit packs, if you choose to order one.  While not required, most parents order them so that our teams are all dressed the same for tournaments.

The first two practices are open to the public. If your child wants to give us a try with no obligation, please come to these two practices. If he likes it and wants to join, you can register that night. We will have one or two demonstration matches for the    parents also so you can see what a match looks like.


    Gear you will need for Wrestling

  • Wrestling shoes (These can be purchased at any local Academy or Dick's Sporting Goods stores.)
  • Head gear (This is optional for this age group. Many boys find it distracting and don't wear them)
  • Mouth piece ( This is optional, as well, but highly recommended.)
  • Singlet (This is the uniform worn by wrestlers. Rental of a singlet is included in your sign-up fee)

     

    Wrestling is one of the most difficult and rewarding sports American youth can participate in. Your child will learn the rewards for hard work and dedication from this sport. Wrestling is considered by many to be the oldest sport in the world; but most parents find themselves knowing nothing about the sport as it is done today. We will make great efforts to teach the parents, as well as the child, so you can have a less confusing and more fun day at the matches. Our parents are as important to our program as our coaches and wrestlers. The single best thing about wrestling is there is no such thing as favoritism. Every boy gets the same instruction as everyone else. Every boy gets the same chances to win as every other. No daddy ball, no sitting the bench. They will have more self confidence through their hard work and it will show.
