We’re ready to wrestle! Please read the description of the season below before registering.

Beginning 1/3/21, registration is now open for wrestlers in 1st-5th grades. Practices will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we anticipate beginning on Thursday 1/14 as we finalize plans with the school. Unfortunately, and due to the restricted number of athletes and coaches that can be in the room, at this time we are not able to open up to our Pre-K|K wrestlers.

Read more about the plans and requirements for practice on the Registration page. Our Covid-19 readiness plan is being reviewed and we should have approval from the school this week.

Important notes for 2020/2021:

• We are limiting participants to the first 40 signups due to restrictions on the number of coaches and athletes we can have in the room.
• Any registrations beyond 40 will be placed on a waitlist. If we are unable to place you into a session, your fees will be refunded. If there is enough interest we will assess how to open up another session.
• Your wrestler will be assigned to a pod of 4-6 wrestlers that will be their primary practice partners to minimize risk and contact multiplication.
• Your wrestler will be assigned to the early or late session randomly along with their pod partners. This year early or late sessions will not indicate our advanced or developing sessions. Sessions will balance wrestler and volunteer numbers between sessions.
• We are not planning to offer practices for PreK/K and 6th graders this year. The middle school program is beginning shortly to help support the 6th graders. We will post on the LYWA Facebook page if anything changes.
• Parents will not be allowed in the facility or the room aside from assigned volunteers. You will drop your wrestler off at an assigned door depending on practice location.
• Wrestlers will be required to wear masks in the facility, out of the facility, and during non-wrestling activities in the room (warm-ups, cool downs, watching technique demonstrations) as required by the MDH.
• Coaches and volunteers will also be masked up during their time in the facility.

Since 1996, LYWA has been fostering the sport of wrestling for young athletes in Lakeville, Minnesota. We are committed to helping all our wrestlers, regardless of experience level, develop and advance. Through wrestling, kids learn skills that help them in other sports as well as life, including body control, mental toughness, empathy, self-reliance, and team camaraderie.
