CIF WRESTLING WEIGHT CERTIFICATION OVERVIEW
The California Interscholastic Federation believes that one of the primary factors in promoting proper weight maintenance among high school wrestlers is the development of a weight controlprogram that encourages safe weight loss. As requiredby the NFHS (Rule 1, Sec. 3, Art. 1-2), the CIF has instituted body composition testing programs in the past several years. The primary purpose of a body composition-testing program is to determine the lowest certifiable, safe and healthy weight for each wrestler in order to provide a safe wrestling experience for all high school wrestlers. The wrestler's lowest certifiable weight may not be his or her optimal competitive weight; it is simply the lowest, safe weight at which a wrestler may compete.

In addition to this Weight Certification Program, it is imperative that the school's wrestling coach monitors each athlete throughout the entire season to ensure they are maintaining or losing weight properly and in a healthy and safe manner. This program has been developed in response to the need for guidance of young wrestlers as they make decisions about diet, nutrition,a nd weight control. It has been documented that wrestlers often attempt to lose weight rapidly, often in an unhealthy and unsafe manner, to gain a perceived advanage over their opponent. This Weight Certification Program is designed to assist wrestlers and coaches in avoiding potentially harmful, rapid weight reduction practices utilized to achieve specific weight class participation. Our CIF Assessors are a critical component of this program.

CIF member-schools sponsoring the sport of wrestling are required to participate in the assessment portion of the weight certification program established by the California Interscholastic Federation for ALL competing wrestlers, regardless of the level of competition. Any wrestler who has not completed the assesment process is ineligible for competition
NFHS Rule 1-3 & CIF Bylaws 3103 & 3104

The program consists of three components:
1. CIF Assessors
2. The Body Composition Testing Program
3. The Nutrition Education Program
