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-SS Divisionals (Northern) aka CIF.
CIF: Top 5-6 boys / top 8 girls advance to CIF-SS Masters aka Masters.
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.

These are a great way for both new and returning wrestlers to gain experience, have fun, and keep improving.

Early Spring: USA Wrestling Folkstyle State Tournament

Each year in the early spring, right after the CIF State Championships, USA Wrestling–California hosts a Folkstyle State Tournament. This event gives wrestlers the chance to continue competing under folkstyle rules after the high school season ends and provides additional postseason mat time against strong competition from across the state.

Spring Tournaments

In the spring, there are a number of one-day USA Wrestling tournaments. Typically we try to host one a Dos Pueblos every year. These events give wrestlers the opportunity to compete under Olympic styles, freestyle and Greco-Roman, rather than high school Folkstyle rules (which are used in fall and winter. Visit the Rules of Wrestling page to learn more about the differences between the wrestling styles.

This year the Dos Pueblos spring tournament is on April 4th, 2026.
