21. New Parent/Child Orientation Club has “coach attended” tourneys – see website for listing You can independently go to tournaments Keep wet wipes in your wrestler’s backpack Great resource is theguillotine.com – Open Tournaments Rule of thumb for # of tournaments – match your child’s age Get to know your coaches and team techs. We will help talk you through tournaments and who’s attending Ask other parents about tournaments and who’s attending Metro Mondays in Prior Lake - May conflict with some younger athletes for Monday practices Practice behavior – If you’re in attendance, please help maintain discipline.
