​Three Levels of Instruction
Wrestlers will practice twice a week on a schedule that varies throughout the season due to commitments of the coaching staff. Wrestlers of all levels may also choose to compete at any of a full schedule of AAU- and USA-sanctioned events. Wrestlers may be moved between groups during the season as needed to achieve the appropriate level of instruction.

Jr. Spartans: Grades 3-8

• Beginner/Intermediate
  Wrestlers will learn and reinforce basic wrestling techniques and skills and learn how to apply them in match situations. Most wrestlers should expect to work out in this room for their first two to three years.
• Experienced/Advanced
  This level moves at a fast pace and is geared toward experienced wrestlers. Participants must have two to three years of experience, a commitment to compete in the USA series, and the recommendation of the coaching staff. Additional practices will be added during the last month of the season to prepare for the USA state series.

Mini Spartans: Grades K-2
Younger wrestlers will practice at shorter sessions designed specifically for their ages and attention levels. (Sessions end at 6:45 or 7:15 p.m.) Mini Spartans wrestle a shorter season that concludes with the AAU state tournament in February.

Students in K-8 may participate
Kindergarten through eighth-grade kids who reside in the Francis Howell Central attendance area are eligible.

Practices begin Oct. 25 at FHC
Practice schedules will be handed out at registration. The first practice for Jr. Spartans will be Tuesday, Oct. 25 in the FHC wrestling room. Minis will begin Thursday, Nov. 3. 
Parent meeting for all levels will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 25.
