Weigh-Ins and Nutrition:, All wrestlers and coaches must use good judgement in selecting the proper weight class for their wrestlers. Children should NEVER be encouraged to cut weight for any reason. MYWA Coaches should ALWAYS discourage and/or prohibit extreme weight loss. The MYWA now restricts weight loss at the time of weigh-ins on the day of the tournament. If a wrestler steps on the scale in the presence of a MYWA official, their weight is noted and they will need to follow the following guide: Weight Loss Caps: Wrestlers who weigh 111 lbs and under can lose up to 2 lbs. Wrestlers who weigh 112 lbs and up can lose up to 3 lbs.Skin Checks: Coaches are encouraged to do a skin check on their wrestlers before each tournament. Skin Checks will be done at weigh-ins. Official doctor’s notes are required at weigh in for questionable skin and/or health conditions. MYWA officials may exclude wrestlers from wrestling if there are skin and /or health related concerns.
