Overview of the Wrestling Year

Whether you are a first-year wrestler or a returning veteran, here is what to expect throughout the calendar year.

Fall Season: The Foundation

Many wrestlers begin here with preseason DPHS wrestling practices to prepare them for the rigors of the winter season.
Focus: Conditioning, fundamentals, and strength building.
Optional: Live competitions and extra practices are available through The Laboratory Wrestling Club.

Winter Season: The Official High School Season

This is the official DPHS season.
DPHS practices continue. Compete in HS dual meets and tournaments. Both JV and Varsity competitions.
There are no HS Laboratory Wrestling Club activities during the winter season.

The Postseason: Road to State

For qualifying wrestlers, the season continues into a series of elimination tournaments:

League: Top 3–4 advance to CIF.
CIF (CIF Southern Section Divisionals - Northern): Top 5-6 boys / top 8 girls advance to Masters.
Masters (CIF-Southern Section Masters): Top 10 boys / top 8 girls advance to State. Over 500 schools. Often more competitive than many state tournaments.
State Championships – Bakersfield: 40 boys / 32 girls per weight class compete for state titles.

Post-Season Tournament (USA Wrestling CA Folkstyle States)

Optional, one-day tournament after the DPHS season.
Provides extra mat time and strong competition.
Style:
- 1. 1. - Last competition of the season to use folkstyle rules (High School style).
      - All fall and winter competitions used folkstyle rules.
      - The spring tournaments use Olympic rules.
      - Learn about wrestling styles.

Spring Season: Freestyle & Greco-Roman

Official DPHS season is over, but continuing in the spring is strongly encouraged. Wrestling is competitive, and spring tournaments help wrestlers stay sharp, gain extra mat time, and get ahead.
Competition Options: About 8 one-day local tournaments, including typically one at DPHS. These events are low-key and fun, perfect for learning and practicing new techniques — but there are also more challenging tournaments available.
The spring tournaments use Olympic rules: freestyle and Greco-Roman.
- All fall and winter competitions used folkstyle rules (High School style). Learn about wrestling styles.
Registration through The Laboratory Wrestling Club.

CIF Mandatory Break

Two-week break at the start of summer.
