Does wrestling season ever end? Not really. 

Understandably so, COVID-19 may have brought us our first ending, but let’s be honest, wrestling season never truly ends. We go from folkstyle season straight into freestyle/Greco season – with some overlap, of course. But if we suss things out the high school wrestling season starts in late November with the first competition coming in the first week of December.

There's a slight break for Thanksgiving, where we get to be a spectator for our family’s plate stacking, and Christmas, when we are granted a two-pound weight allowance – with the exception of a few states like California, which gets theirs closer to the New Year. The season continues until March where teams and individual state champions are crowned to cap off the regular season. 

Currently, only a few states sanction girls wrestling at the high school level which coincides with the male season.

Hopefully more states adopt this structure.
