Southern Lehigh Youth Wrestling

How can you help our program?

Our Youth Wrestling Program is no different than any other volunteer run organization--The more hands that help out, the better the program will run.  We are a small organization when compared to the Football, Soccer, and Basketball programs; making it essential for every family to participate in some way, especially at each home match.  We raise money for the organization during home matches in the snack stand and by collecting admission fees. Ways you can help include:

• Coaching—dedicated, knowledgeable Dads are always welcome to help teach our kids.
• Uniforms—collect uniforms after each match, wash them, and then bring them to the next match.
• Mopping mats—the janitor cleans the mats after the youth practice, we in turn are asked to mop the mats before practice each night in exchange for use of the wrestling room.  In order to accomplish this, we need to have mats mopped 30 minutes prior to practice.
• Wrestle offs—coaches will referee, but anyone can help by keeping time and writing down scores.
• Home match set-up—help with setting up and taking down the mats and chairs, clearing litter from gym, etc. on match days.
• Collecting Admission money at home matches; selling 50/50 tickets.
• Concessions—help by working in snack stand, donating food items to be sold.
• Locker room—assist kids with taping laces, cutting fingernails, etc. so coaches can focus on …coaching.
• Statistics/score keeping/announcing—learn how to record scores, enter into computer, turn in to league each week; run time clock, be the “announcer” at home matches.
• Video—help video the wrestlers at each match—we’ll get to view their triumphs at the banquet.
• Banquet—need someone to coordinate -  lots of things to help with.
