Youth practice and events
When we are on the mat.
The practice week by age group, the dates a season gets planned around, and the calendars that keep your phone honest.

Next up for youth.
A normal week
The practice week.
Every practice is in the River Falls High School wrestling room. Nothing on a day means no youth practice that day ... it does not mean the room is empty.

The 2025-26 season
Dates that matter.
The handful of dates a family plans a season around, as they fell in 2025-26. Practice start dates move a little each year with the school calendar, so treat this as the shape of a season ... the Google calendars below carry the 2026-27 days as they are set.
