Registration is open now and closes December 30, or earlier if a team fills. Not sure which team? Register at the grade level below and our coaching staff will move your wrestler if a different group is a better fit.
Free Intro to Wrestling Clinic — Sunday, November 15
Never tried wrestling? Start here, at no cost. A one-hour free clinic for boys and girls in grades K–8 and their parents — 10:30–11:30 AM at the Randolph High School Aux Gym. No experience required. You'll meet the coaches and some active wrestlers, hear how wrestling builds confidence, discipline and grades, watch technique and drill demonstrations, and get a 30-minute workout in. Wear sneakers, shorts or sweats, and a t-shirt. Randolph residents only, no waitlist — register on the Randolph Recreation Youth Programs page. It's also the best first step for wrestlers joining our Clinic team, whose Saturday practices start after Thanksgiving.

Register — Blue Team
No wrestler is ever forced into a match or tournament they aren't ready for.
Grade is the starting point, not the rule. A second grader in their first season isn't grouped the same as a second grader who's wrestled for two years — placement between Clinic, White and Blue is set by our coaching staff based on experience and readiness. Headgear and other match equipment must be worn at practice as well as competition.
