STRAP System
What are they?
We have developed a system similar to what you might see with other martial arts belts. When members join our club with no wrestling experience they will start with a White Strap they will wear on their ankle.
Ankle Straps
Members will wear them on their ankles during practice and in competition. They can be worn with or without boots. The straps are a display of experience and not connected to competition. You move from one strap to the next based on the number of practices you have attended and the skills you develop. Our view is that wins/losses in amateur wrestling is often not the best measure of who is learning the sport and who will have the greatest success in the long run.
Strap Cards
When a wrestler receives their strap, they also receive a card to track attendance. Every time they come to practice on time, work hard, listen well and are a good partner, they have a box marked off. Finish the card and you are now eligible to move to the next level.
