The Pope Jr wrestling team practices three nights a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. Practices are structured in a manner that benefits first-year wrestlers through all advanced levels. There is a heavy emphasis on technique and conditioning along with mental preparation.

Come Prepared To Work!
Practice begins promptly at 6:30 pm each night. It is encouraged to arrive early so that wrestlers have time to change into their wrestling shoes. They will need to wear running shoes each night because we may use them during conditioning time periods. Also, wrestling shoes are ONLY to be worn on the wrestling mat. Wrestlers should wear athletic shorts and t-shirts along with headgear during practice, knee pads are optional. We encourage you to bring additional tees to change into throughout practice along with appropriate dry, warm clothing to change into before going home. Although there is a water fountain in the room, please bring your own water bottle so that all have the opportunity to hydrate during practice.
