The Hillsboro Wrestling Club will be having a mandatory information and sign-up night for parents of potential participants at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, at the technology lecture hall at Hillsboro High School.
Entering its 15th year, the HWC is open to all children age 5 through 16. The cost is $30 for one wrestler in a family, $50 for two in a family and $70 for three or more. The money goes to USA Wrestling to cover the cost of membership, which includes a secondary insurance for each wrestler.
