UIL Weight Certification Program
Wrestling has changed tremendously since it's original days, and with so, wrestling has developed a comprehensive plan to assist in monitoring safe weight loss/gain through the program initiated by the National Wrestling Coaches' Association (NWCA) and its online performance calculator and now taken over by Track Wrestling.
Below is the basic information you will need to know to have your son/daughter ready for our Weight certification.
Our initial date is Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 5:30 pm. It will be in our wrestling area at the Sloan Creek Intermediate School. Each wrestler is required to bring $5 cash to pay for this assessment. In addition, a singlet is needed for this process. If your wrestler does not have one, I will have singlets available to borrow. I will have the forms necessary as well.
Our last makeup date is TBD.
Below are links detailing the information regarding this process:

Please look at this document to help your wrestler with the day of the cert. I realize it will be at night and after practice. We will scale back what we do this day!
This is the actual color chart the assessors refer to if needed to determine correct hydration:
Finally, this powerpoint has a lot of great information with respect to diet and much more information:
