Regarding Ring Worm

Mats are being washed daily by Dick Dwyer (building maintenance) and Bulldog coaches. We have had several kids develop ringworm. It is important that clothes are washed immediately each night and this also means KNEE PADS. I highly recommend that you wash your kids wrestling shoes each week to help prevent any fungus growth. Make sure the kids shower/bath each night after practice. Clean headgear every night with a anti-bacterial cleaner to keep them clean. It is important to check your kids body for this fungus as it can pop up quickly but with swift action, it can be taken care of quickly too. Ringworm is a very contagious fungus that we can pick up anywhere-wrestling rooms, schools, at home etc and we need to try to prevent it as much as possible. Any questions, see a coach concerning this.
