We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Post holiday update incoming.
1. Practice Next Week!
We WILL have practice next week (Week of Dec 30 – Jan 3). But we will ONLY have practice on Monday and Thursday. Not Tuesday Practice on New Year’s Eve. Practice on Monday and Thursday will be normal time and place.
This is a good opportunity to get ready for what we’re going to talk about next…
2. First Club Tournament!
Our first tournament will be Sunday, Jan 5th! For those that have been in the club, you know the process.
Here’s the form:
https://forms.gle/8V7LYhoZNoLHisaG6
For those that are new here’s how it works. This email/reminder is coming out early, usually our weekly announcements are made on Monday. When those emails/posts get made, they will have the form for that week’s tournament. If you know you are going, fill out the form IMMEDIATELY! Registrations are done that very Monday night to guarantee our spots in the tournament for that coming weekend.
We will try to get late entries in, but we can’t guarantee your spot if you didn’t fill out the form Monday. These tournaments do fill up fast and once they are full, they don’t take anyone else, no exceptions.
For those that are going to be attending their first tournament here are some pointers:
-Bring cash! Most tournaments don’t take card/Venmo/etc. For gate fees and snacks at the tournaments, cash is king.
-Pay attention to the flyer (link is always on the sign-up form linked above). This tells you the who/what/when/where of the tournament. Parts to focus on are when your division wrestles. ALWAYS be there 1 hour before your session starts. This gets you time to find your seats, get dressed up, and warm up before your match.
-TrackWrestling. Most all tournaments run off of trackwrestling.
3. Trackwrestling?
For those that are new, Trackwrestling is the tool that will tell you where your wrestler needs to be and when he needs to be there. Something new we have created this year for everyone interested is a TrackWrestling guide to help people’s first time using it feel a little more comfortable about it. It’s a very picture heavy document that will at least make you not afraid of using and understanding it.
Please find that guide on our website using the following link:

4. Raffle Tickets
Last but not least, we will have raffle tickets available at our two practices next week! They will be there from 6:30 – 7:30 on Monday and Thursday. Basically, at the end of the little kid’s practice and after the start of the older kid’s practice. So whether you’re dropping off or picking up, if you needed more tickets this is the time to get them!
As always, any questions let us know.
