Standards
Code of conduct
Signed by every family at registration and expected at every practice and tournament.
Wrestlers
- Show up on time and ready to work.
- Listen the first time a coach speaks.
- Shake hands before and after every match, win or lose.
- No horseplay on the mats. Take care of teammates and practice partners.
- Respect the room, the equipment, and the Field House.
Parents
- Support the wrestlers, not the officiating.
- Let the coaches coach — one voice in the corner.
- Keep sideline talk positive toward every kid on the mat, both teams.
- Get wrestlers to practice and to weigh-ins on time.
- Handle concerns with a coach privately, not in front of the kids.
Coaches
- Teach safe, age-appropriate technique.
- Treat every wrestler in the room the same.
- Keep certifications and background checks current.
- Model the behavior we ask of the families.
- Put wrestler health ahead of any result.
OKWA tournament conduct
- Spectators stay in the stands — the mat area is for wrestlers, coaches and officials.
- A maximum of two credentialed coaches per wrestler in the corner.
- No tobacco, no alcohol, and no abusive language or behavior at events.
- Officials run the match. Their calls are final; complaints go through a coach, not the stands.
