WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AND HYDRATION TESTING

Why?

This is mandatory for all wrestlers in Georgia. The list of wrestlers passing is maintained by the National Wrestling Coaches Association. The basic idea is to prevent unhealthy weight loss. Last year's rules governing weight management are here in the 2008-2009 Wrestling Weight Management Program and in the GHSA Constitution and Bylaws.

What?

You will be given a hydration test (tips for passing). After passing the hydration test you will be weighed and percent body fat will be calculated.  If you are a male below 7% body fat or a female below 14% body fat you will need a physicians clearance to wrestle.

When and Where?

Saturday October 2th, 2010, at Druid Hills High School (8:45 am for Druid Hills Wrestlers)

See Coach West if you have a conflict or questions.

How much?

$10 (fees will go up later in season)

Forms?

Coach's sign in sheet, wrestler's hydration test form, and below allowable body fat form.
