2023-2024 Season Overview
We hope this will be an exciting and fun-filled year for you and your wrestler(s). Our program’s purpose is to promote wrestling and the development of good sportsmanship, while building individual character, strength, and stamina through a controlled, competitive atmosphere.
Touch of Gold is dedicated to the physical and mental welfare of your child. It takes time to acquire the skills and discipline of a good wrestler. Our program is designed to develop each wrestler to his/her fullest potential. Win or lose, support your wrestler. We want wrestling to be a positive experience for everyone. The Club offers a diverse program designed to meet the needs of each age group and skill level. Each wrestler matures at his/her own pace. If you would like to help your child develop a move, develop only the moves that are taught at practice. Additional moves may prove to be confusing. All Touch of Gold coaches are required to have a valid USA Coach’s Card for the current year. If you plan to participate as a coach at any of the tournaments, you must purchase a coach’s card.
Parent participation is crucial to the success of the Club. The Touch of Gold Wrestling Club can only be as strong as the parents involved. Without parent involvement, there is no club. There are many ways parents can be involved in the Club’s operations. Any parents wishing to help out are encouraged to give their names to any of the Board Members or Coaches.
Not only will we need assistance with coaching, but also with officiating, pairing, table help and concessions. At the WAWA state and local meets, we are required to meet the ratio of mat and pairing officials according to the number of wrestlers we have entered to wrestle. This enables the tournament to run smoothly and lessens the possibility of injury to a wrestler. Under USA wrestling insurance regulations, the mat and pairing officials must have a current UAWOA card. We encourage anyone who is interested in learning how to become a mat official or paring official to contact any of the Board members or Coaches.
Our wrestlers are our main priority. Help your wrestler…attend his/her tournaments. Kids are very encouraged by Club Spirit; it has a positive effect on their performance. Roll up your sleeves and prepare yourself for a full season of wrestling. If your wrestler makes a good move or wins a match, praise him/her. If he/she goes out and loses or wrestles poorly, support them. It takes tremendous courage for a wrestler to venture out to the center of the mat alone and face an opponent.
