Parents can play many roles in sport: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents at socializing sports.
Typically we attend tournaments scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays. Whether the Club will be registering/paying for your wrestler to attend, or you are required to do so, we will weigh the wrestlers on Thursday practice prior to the weekend competition.
Please make note of the link/document below. AAU age/weight categories are listed and will help guide you in knowing what age weight division your child will be registered based on the weight recorded during Thursday's weigh-in.
DISREGARD the RED Age requirements. Your wrestler is registered with the Birth Year listed.
On January 6, 2021 Darkhorse held a parent meeting. Here is the information you may need:
Our Club has been offering a Raffle ticket fundraiser for over 5 seasons. With the proceeds from this fundraiser, we have been fortunate to purchase mats for the club as well as a digital scale for weigh-ins.
As our wrestlers progress and continue with the club, they are invited at the middle-school and high-school level to participate in additional competition and training opportunities. Darkhorse funds help offset the expenses for these trips such as team van rentals, food and lodging.
If you or anyone you know are looking for an opportunity to donate to a Non-Profit organization, we are happy to initiate a letter of request for sponsorship to these businesses or individuals and we can provide the Donor with the tax ID number for our Club.
Each Wrestler/Family is asked to sell at least 20 raffle tickets. The tickets are priced at $20 per ticket.
Upon returning all 20 tickets and payment, your wrestler/family of wrestlers will be added to the fully-funded competition entry fee list. Once added to the list, Darkhorse will pay the wrestler entry fees for any of our scheduled AAU competitions. If your wrestler or family does not complete the sale of all 20 tickets, you will be required to register and pay for your wrestler's entry fees at any tournaments you choose to attend during the season.
Every year our Darkhorse Wrestling Family expands. If you have any new or used wrestling shoes, headgear, singlets, apparel etc. that you would like to donate to others in the club, please bring them to practice and we will happily share them with those who need items.
If you are in need of any items, please feel free to check out our tote of donated items. If the table and tote are not available at practice, you can ask a coach to help locate the Take Some Leave Some items.
Updated regularly throughout the season
Parents and athletes need to manage their SportsEngine accounts to ensure they get the most out of their Darkhorse Wrestling Club experience during each sporting season. With their accounts properly configured, athletes and their families will receive communications according to their preferences and be able to complete registrations more efficiently. SportsEngine has created a Team Management Guide for Parents and Athletes that will help our members with frequently asked questions about our website and mobile app.
Here is your quick start guide to creating an account and using the SportsEngine platform as an athlete or parent.
Keep connected to your team(s). Get schedules and team updates for every athlete in the house, plus a way to message other members on your team and a way to give coaches a heads up about practice. Enjoy unlimited access to scores & stats, photo/video sharing, and more.
In many instances, more than one parent or guardian needs to be in the loop with a child's sports life. Using the mobile app, you can add additional guardians to an account. Guardians can 1) View games and events 2) RSVP to games and events 3) Send and receive messages to coaches and team members 4) participate in team chat
Once you've created your account, add your mobile phone so you can receive text messages from your team manager or coach.
Now that you have your mobile phone on your account, make sure you enable text messaging and any other notifications.
