Code of Conduct If we don’t have this we have nothing! We are just a bunch of washed up former wrestlers, please let’s keep it that way, read next bullet. “Competitive but knowing it’s not real” Coaches Head Coach is solely responsible for his coaches and parents. If a parent or coach is out of control, the head coach must work to remove them from gym. Matches will stop until this happens and will not resume until the person has left the building.
