FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: My son is eleven years old. Is that too old to sign up for the first time?
A: Not at all! Norchester welcomes new wrestlers from first through sixth grade. We break into three practice groups so that your child will get age/experience-appropriate training. And he'll be matched up with wrestlers of similar age/weight/experience for competition.
Q: How much travel is involved?
A: Our season schedule does include a few away matches with other teams in our league, but none are more than an hour from OJR. Participation in additional tournaments is optional (but encouraged); you may drive to towns like Souderton, Berwyn, Collegeville, and Norristown for those.
Q: Can my daughter wrestle?
A: Norchester welcomes boys and girls. Be aware that this league is co-ed, and girls will be wrestling boys for practice and matches.
Q: What type of equipment is needed?
A: Wresting shoes and head gear are the safest bet for your child. These items can be purchased at any sporting goods store. If you choose not to buy wrestling shoes then your child must bring a pair of shoes that are only for wrestling. Shoes used for wrestling must not be used as street shoes. This is to keep the mat clean and your child healthy.
