Make Up Weight Certification Asessment:
Sat Oct 26 8:00am
Sports Med South 900 Riverside Pkwy, Lawrenceville, GA 30043

The GHSA requires that all wrestlers participate in the weight certification process prior to competition. Our scheduled testing date October 19th at 8:00am. We will leave by bus at 7:45am from BHS  to the testing site, Sports Med South. and will return by 9:45am. The test will determine the weight classes for each wrestler based on their BMI. This does not necessarily mean the wrestler must wrestle the lowest weight determined but the assessment but must adhere to a decent plan provided by the OPC if they choose to wrestle at a lower weight then what they initially weigh. The goal of the program is to prevent unhealthy weight descension and monitor all weight loss practices. Please make every effort to attend on this date as make ups can conflict with practice and or school. The wrestler must bring $10 cash for the exam and the Profile Form.If a wrestler needs to meet us at the site to expedite the process they can, but must notify the Head Coach.
