At the beginning of a Wrestling season, tryouts are held at which time each person wrestles against others in their weight class. If you beat all of the others on your team in your weight class, or if there are no others in your weight class, then you are selected to be on the Varsity squad.

If you have no experience, this might be difficult against others more experienced, so you might want to attend a wrestling camp, or get some private coaching from a knowledgeable wrestler in the off-season before tryouts begin (wrestling team coaches might be restricted from training you in the off-season).

If your team has a Junior Varsity squad, and you don't make Varsity the first time out, be sure not to give up, or quit. By wrestling on J.V., you gain valuable experience that will help you to possibly get Varsity in the next season. Sometimes, J.V. wrestlers are permitted to challenge the Varsity wrestler at their weight class part way through the season to try and take over the slot, so it is important to keep wrestling for the experience.
