2024-2025 VIKING WRESTLING

The wrestling program is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students.  They compete as one team.  The Viking wrestling program stresses safety while offering the opportunity to achieve the goal of improving as a wrestler.  The wrestlers work on general conditioning and basic moves while constantly striving to improve.  The wrestlers will compete against all the schools in the FVC and in the FVC Tournament.  Each conference meet has a “Varsity” team line-up and the opportunity for “Exhibition” matches.  Exhibition matches are for improvement of skills and an opportunity to participate. 

In addition, the wrestlers compete in several invitational tournaments, non-conference meets and the IESA regional, sectional, and state tournaments. 

Students are required to have a CURRENT physical on file with the school nurse by the first practice. Wrestling conditioning begins in December. Practices are held every day after school when there is not a meet.  Team members are expected to attend all practices and meets. A complete schedule can be found below. The Athletic Fee for Wrestling is $100.  Each team member will be provided a uniform to be worn for meets and returned to the coach at the end of the season.  Team members have the option to purchase team spirit wear at the beginning of the season.

* Girls participating in Wrestling will not be able to participate in Conference Basketball or City League Dance. They can participate in City League Basketball. A schedule for Girls City League Basketball can be found under the Athletics tab in Girls Basketball.
