to assure that the health of the wrestler is not jeopardized by excessive weight reduction. The High School League will not allow wrestlers to wrestle with a body fat of less than 7%. The weight certification form will be sent home for the parents’ approval and
signature and returned to the wrestling coach the following day to be filed with the Minnesota State

Wrestle-off Procedure
Wrestle-offs are wrestling matches during practice that may determine who will represent SHS at a competition at
each weight class.
Wrestle Offs
Any wrestler on the high school
team may wrestle-off for a position
on the Varsity or Jr. Varsity team.
Wrestle off weigh-insPrior to practice start time
Any wrestler who wishes to wrestle-off for a position on the Varsity or Jr.
Varsity Squad must weigh within two pounds of the weight class being
wrestled-off for.
No exceptions! You must make weight.
Wrestle-off dates
Wrestle-off schedule will be determined by
the competition schedule of the team.
Most wrestle-offs will occur once a week-
the day before our first competition of that
week.
Established Wrestlers
Wrestlers may become “established” if they have an exceptional record
against good competition and wrestle offs have been very lopsided in their
favor. These wrestlers may be exempt from wrestle offs to save practice time
and avoid injury to other wrestlers.
Beating out a varsity wrestler
By February we usually have a pretty established varsity team.
Positions on the Section Individual Team will be determined by a three
match wrestle-off series. The challenger must win the first wrestle off to continue
on.
Changing the Lineup
The coach reserves the right to change the line-up of any team at any time.
*The good of the team will always come before the good an any individual
