Parents' Scoring Clinic, Thursday, November 20, 2008 from 6:00pm - 6:45pm
I thought I knew wrestling when I joined the club 4 years ago, but in the 20 years I had been off the mat, many rules had changed! Over the last few years I have listened to "New Parents" asked many questions we should have had the foresight to answer in advance.

As a result, we are putting on this program - Naperville Wrestling Parents' Scoring Clinic to update people on the rules of IKWF Wrestling
