Design notes

Here the inbounds circle spans the full width of the page, with navy only in the two top corners and the painted line running out into the paper below. Inside the circle sit the logo, the award title, the name in the red and green starting box, the program and a three-line statement. Below it, the season achievements fall into a two-column grid with the record as a large number, followed by the level, weight class, result, date, credential ID, two signatures and a QR code.

About

Wrestling Certificate Template, Starting Lines Portrait

An upright certificate suits the places wrestling awards end up: a frame on the bedroom wall next to the brackets, the team's trophy case, or the gym corridor beside the record board. Coaches use it for senior night, letter awards, the 100-win club and individual awards such as Most Takedowns or Best Pinning Record, and athletic directors often order one per wrestler for the whole roster.

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 upright, 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.
