The sport of wrestling
The rules of matches and a short history United States College Wrestling College-style wrestling, sometimes also known as
scholastic or folkstyle wrestling, is a form of wrestling
that is native to the USA. This style of wrestling is practiced in United States secondary schools,
universities and colleges and also in many amateur wrestling clubs.
A feature that makes this wrestling style different from freestyle is that a wrestler must hold the opponent's shoulders down on the mat for 1 second to be awarded a fall. College-style wrestling also scores points for wrestlers with "near falls," worth 2 or 3 points, for holding an opponent close to his or her back. College wrestlers earn credit for "riding time," or time during which they control their opponent on the mat. "Riding time" points are only awarded in collegiate wrestling and do not play a part in the high school sport. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)is the governing body for collegiate wrestling, while the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations (NFSHSAA) controls high school wrestling. The NCAA college-style bout lasts for 7 minutes, with a three-minute first period followed by two 2-minute periods. Bouts that are tied at the end of regulation go into an overtime period. High school matches are six minutes long, with three 2-minute periods. |

General Wrestling Scoring Procedures 4 general scoring procedures are common to freestyle, College-style wrestling and Greco-Roman: (1) Takedowns are awarded when one wrestler brings the opponent down to the mat from a standing position. Additional points are awarded when a wrestler takes the opponent directly to his or her back. Common takedowns include single legs, double legs, high crotches, headlocks, bodylocks, shrugs, and fireman's carries.
(2) Reversals are scored when a wrestler who is controlled by the opponent on the mat, executes a move that allows the wrestler to assume a controlling position on top of the opponent, in other words reversing the situation. Common reversals include switches, rolls, and hip heists. |

So for the past 2 to 3 quarters I spent long hours in the hot, thick-aired wrestling room conditioning non-stop with my female coach, Natalia. My parents told my coach to bring her in since they still did not want me to wrestle guys, especially after I passed out the first time I attempted to wrestle a guy.

Don't just stop training when your season is over. The game pressure is over until next year! It's good to take a break from your sport, but there is a danger in letting your break last a little too long. In the off-season, it's important for you to maintain an effective training plan designed to keep you in shape.
