1. Practice (Kids only, no parents)
As a reminder we do have practice this week on Monday and Thursday ONLY!
We know there are some weather concerns tonight, as of this message practice is still on. If you do not feel safe coming for any reason, please stay safe and stay at home.
Another thing we do once the official season starts in January is change the way practices are run. Currently we have been allowing parents to be in the wrestling room to watch practices and all of the kids have generally been in the main wrestling room downstairs. We would like to minimize parent distractions now that the season has started and please ask you to remain in the hallway during practice. We will also be taking our “Gold room” wrestlers to the upstairs wrestling room.
2. Tournament (Omaha Bryan)
If you are interested in attending this Sunday’s tournament, here’s the link to sign up:

A couple things we didn’t mention about tournaments in our last post:
-Tournaments are not required. You can do as little or as much as you want.
-If it is a club tournament, Fremont Wrestling Club will pay your wrestler’s registration for that tournament. If you sign up and don’t show up, you must pay back the club for that tournament.
-Satellite Weigh Ins. This is a huge one. We’ll talk about this more below:
3. Satellite Weigh Ins
About half of the tournaments we do are part of OMAWA (Omaha Metro Area Wrestling Association), which Fremont Wrestling Club is also a member of. As a benefit for these tournaments we are usually allowed to “Satellite Weigh In”. This lets us not worry about weigh-ins the day before or day of a tournament (as you see on the flyers) at a remote location and instead get all the kids weighed in locally and more conveniently. We will let everyone know earlier in the week whether the tournament will have satellite weigh-ins or not.
For this coming tournament (Omaha Bryan on Jan 5th) we WILL get them being an OMAWA tournament. On Thursday’s practice, usually at the end of little kids practice (6:45) and also at the end of big kids practice (8:30) we will let everyone know to get weighed in so we can log those weights for the upcoming tournament. If you are not at that practice or forget to do it you WILL have to weigh in per the tournament flyer.
4. Singlets and Raffle Tickets
If you still need a singlet this is the final week we’ll be there ready to help out.
If you need raffle tickets, or just need more because you’re already sold out (great job everyone!) we will have someone there around the 6:45-7:15 range. So after little kids are picked up or big kids are dropped off will be the time to get in there.
5. Calendar!
It is with great pleasure we announce a new addition to our website, the calendar page! It can be found here:

This is a new feature so please be patient with us as we work to make sure it’s updated and accurate.
-We currently have practices loaded (With no Tuesday this week)
-Our first tournament is loaded (With clickable to maps option and link to the flyer)
-Our goal is to also include more information such as Picture Day (More info to come). Things we’ve already done like Singlet Check Out or Fundraiser Pick Up would be examples of other stuff you could expect to see.
As a reminder our website is fremontwrestlingclub.org.
-Every email/post is also on the site to easily find.
-Our new TrackWrestling Guide is also up on there.
-Calendar is now live!
As always if there’s anything we’re an email/message away.
