Work Hard. Stay Humble. Show Respect. Never Quit.

Club rules and Expectations

At Canfield Wrestling Club, we believe wreatling develops much more than athletic ability. It builds character, discipline, confidence, and respect. To create a positive enviornment where every athlete can succeed, we ask all wrestlers and families to uphold the following expectations.  

Wrestler Expectations

1. Be on time.
"On time" means early. Arrive before practice or competition begins. Come dressed, focused and prepared to work.

2. Always give full effort.
Success isn't measured only by wins and losses. We value hard work, determination, and willingness to improve everyday.

3. Show respect.
Treat coaches, teammates, opponents, officials, parents, and yourself with respect at all times-both on and off the mat!

4. Be coachable.
Listen carefully, stay engaged, maintain a postitive attitude, and apply the feedback you're given. Growth comes from learning. 

5. No bullying - Build other up!
Bully, teasing, or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. Encourage your teamates, celebrate their successess, and help make everyone better. 

6. Represent the Club with Pride!
Your actions reflect our program. Whether you're at practice, a tournament, school, or in the community, represent CWC with integrity, sportsmanship, and class.

Parent Expectations

1. Respect Coaches and Volunteers
Allow coaches to coach. Please avoid coaching from the sidelines or questioning decisions during practices and competitions.

2. Be positive & Supportive
Encourage all wrestlers, not just your own. Cheer with respect and help us create a positive atmosphere for every athlete. 

3. Display Good Sportsmanship
Treat officials, coaches, wrestlers, and opposing teams with courtesy and respect. Poor sportmanship will not be tolerated.

4. Prioritize Attendance & Communication
Notify coaches if your wrestler will be absent or late. Consistent attendance helps athletes and the team continue to improve.

5. Support Team Culture

Help us foster an enviornment built on accountability, hard work, respect, and encouragement. We are ONE TEAM, and every family plays an important role.   

6. Remember the Bigger Picture

Our goal is to develop confident and respectful young people through the sport of wrestling. Focus on effort, growth, and character rather than wins alone. 

Disciplinary Policy

The Canfield Wrestling Club is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and positive enviornment for everyone. If a wrestler or parent fails to meet these expectations, the club may take appropriate disciplinary action including: 

• Verbal or written warning

• Temporary suspention from practices or events

• Removal from the club, when necessary

The Board of Directors and Coaching staff reserve the right to determine appropriate disciplinary measures based on the severity and frequency of the bahavior. Our goal is always to correct issues while protecting the culture and integrity of our program.
