What is loss of control on an escape?

Turn and Face?
-or
not facing and offensive wrestler cannot regain control

Not facing and out of bounds?

This week kicked off the start of the season with a dual meet at Northland Prep Academy on Monday and a multi-team dual on Tuesday at Prescott High School.

The wrestling was great and you can really see those kids that have been practicing all year vs. those that are still working on getting in shape and probably still filling out their school paperwork or getting their grades up to be eligible.

For those coaches that are reading this site, remember to come prepared to weigh-ins with your official team roster. The AIA procedures for weigh-ins are on the AIAonline website as well. The release form for skin lesions can be found here on the AIAonline site.

I wanted to add a few videos of the wrestling/officiating as well. This is mainly instructional only and to help give other officials another perspective on how to call the match.

I found a new video recently that seemed very helpful with describing mat mechanics, position, signaling… I feel it is a good refresher video and helpful, especially to new officials, to remember good habits.

Welcome to the 2015-2015 wrestling season. This year promises to be an exciting one with more tournaments, more officials and now, an official Northern Arizona Wrestling Officials website. We will update and maintain this page as often as possible. If you have any ideas or information you would like to share, please let us know.

Tonight is our first meeting to start planning for the school year. Looking forward to seeing everyone at 5:30pm at Coconino High School wrestling room.

In addition, we are starting to look for donations to support our group. Please visit our donors page and support those that support us. We couldn’t do some of the things we do without their help.
