A couple of important notes: Wrestling shoes should NOT be worn outside.
Doing so brings dirt into the wrestling room. In addition to being unsanitary, small
stones stuck in the shoes can damage the mat. In addition, since the shoes are
not designed for outside wear, they will prematurely wear out.
Along the same lines, we ask the everyone, including parents, to not wear shoes
other than wrestling shoes in the wrestling room. The wrestling mats are
extremely expensive and we want to take good care of them.
Finally, despite the efforts to keep the wrestling mats sanitized, it is always best
for wrestlers to take showers immediately after every practice and tournament.
Also, remind your wrestler to keep their hands away from their mouths until their
hands are washed.
In the past, ELCO's Athletic Trainer, Adam Zurick, came to one of our practices to
discuss the issue of MRSA and any other wrestling related health concerns the
parents may have had. If anyone would like us to, we can ask that he come again
this year.
Following are two websites that he referred us to in the past for additional
information. On both sites, enter MRSA in the search box.
