INFO FOR ALL SEASONS

All wrestlers are required to practice wearing: a compression shirt and shorts, wrestling shoes, and headgear.  Competition singlets/warm-ups are only to be worn to competitions, not to practice.  Each wrestler is advised to bring a water bottle (squeeze-style, no leak), to practice.

We are members of the following governing bodies:  USA Wrestling (USAW) and Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF).  All FVWC wrestlers are required to maintain membership with USAW, as required by the IKWF. All FVWC coaches are required to be approved by the FVWC Board, maintain membership with USAW and be properly certified by USAW.

We encourage our members to embrace our values: confidence, determination, commitment, integrity, and loyalty.  All wrestlers and family members are expected to conduct themselves in a manner which is respectful of the club and the sport of wrestling.  A failure to do so may result in suspension or expulsion from the club.
