Wrestlers,

When I was in HS, the Dedham High Boosters gave out letter jackets, they were cheap vinyl coats, but better then nothing. Any HS team that I've been involved with (Randolph or Brockton), I have always ordered Traditional letter jackets for the Varsity letter winners, just like Frank Grenham's last year. You work hard all year for the team and to earn your letter, the Wrestling Boosters and I believe you deserve a real Varsity Letter Jacket..

Rules:

1) Have earned two or more Varsity Wrestling letters for a FREE Varsity Letter Jacket.
2) Injured while wrestling for the Varsity will be taken under consideration for a FREE Varsity Letter Jacket.
3) A member of the Wrestling team for three years for a FREE Varsity Letter Jacket.
4) First year Seniors who earn the Varsity Wrestling letter, can purchase a Letter Jacket at 1/2 price.
5) Non-Letter winners can order a jacket, but are responsible for payment for the jacket and will be reembursed when they earn their second Varsity letter.
6) Varsity letter winners must finish the season in good standing. (still on the team)
7) All rules are subject to change with feedback from the Wrestling Boosters and wrestlers.


Varsity Letter-jacket schedule:
Jackets will be ordered February
