Design notes

This landscape page is drawn as the centre of the mat. Navy corners and a painted line mark the inbounds circle, cut by the top and bottom edges, and the name sits in the starting box with its red and green ends. Under the program and the statement come the achievements with the record set like a scoreboard number, a row with level, weight class, result, date and credential ID, then the head coach and the athletic director either side of a QR code.

About

Wrestling Award Certificate Template, Starting Lines

The end-of-season banquet is where a wrestling program thanks its athletes: Most Valuable Wrestler, Most Pins, Most Improved, Outstanding Freshman, the team captains and every state qualifier. Head coaches and athletic directors at high schools, middle schools and youth clubs give a certificate for each, and a good one records more than a name: the weight class, the result and the win-loss record the wrestler earned one match at a time.

Wording on the template“In recognition of an outstanding season on the varsity wrestling team. For the takedowns, escapes and pins earned on the mat, and for the discipline, conditioning and grit behind every one of them, from first practice to final whistle.”

Subject: Your wrestling season award is here, name

Hi name,

What a season. Every early practice, every weigh-in and every match you fought to the final whistle added up, and the coaching staff wanted to recognise it properly.

Your wrestling award certificate is ready. Open it to see it, download a copy to print for your wall, or share it on LinkedIn and with your family so they can celebrate with you.

Congratulations, and thank you for everything you gave the team this year.

Post for the recipient to share

This season on the mat taught me more about discipline than anything else I have done. Early mornings, making weight and coming back from losses were all part of it. I am proud to share my wrestling season award, and grateful to my coaches and teammates who pushed me every day in the practice room. On to next season. #Wrestling #StudentAthlete

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it on its side, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
