Important: Tuesday Night's CWC Practices

Dear Parents,
We had a good turnout this evening for practice. Thank you to those of you who were able to travel safely through the snow to join us. We will be having practice on Tuesday evening as well. However, because Charlottesville High School is closed tomorrow, WE WILL BE COMBINING THE PEE WEE AND ELEMENTARY/MIDDLE SCHOOL PRACTICES. BOTH WILL TAKE PLACE AT UVA.
 
Pee Wee parents, please do not go to Charlottesville High School tomorrow night. Instead practice will be take place at 6 pm in the UVA Wrestling Room at Onesty Hall.
 
I hope to see many of you there tomorrow evening.
 
All the best,
Josh Walker
Cavalier Wrestling Club
 
P.S. CASINO NIGHT IS THIS SATURDAY NIGHT! GET YOUR TICKETS HERE: http://cavalier.ticketleap.com/casino-night-2016/.

Elementary/Middle School practice is on for tonight!

Dear CWC Parents,
I hope you've all weathered the storm safely this past weekend. Because we know that many of you are probably looking for an excuse to get your kids out of the house after a long weekend, we are planning to hold practice tonight. Coach Harshaw and Coach Wiles are awesome, and they have volunteered to be at UVA at 6 pm tonight for anyone who is interested in joining them. That said, I must stress that you should only attend if you feel like it is safe for you to travel.
 
Please check your email again this evening for an update about Tuesday night's practices.We will make a decision about tomorrow's practices after seeing how things go tonight.
 
All the best,
 
Josh Walker
Cavalier Wrestling Club

Dear CWC Parents, 
I regret to inform you that tomorrow night's wrestling match against Appomattox and Covenant has been cancelled due to the pending storm. The UVA wrestling match against Duke has also been postponed and rescheduled for Friday, February 5. We are looking into whether our CWC match can also be rescheduled for that date. I'll be in touch when we have more information about that.
 
In the meantime, tonight's live wrestling practice for the Elementary/Middle School group is still on at UVA.
 
Be safe, and enjoy the snow this weekend.

RE: Cavalier Wrestling Club Casino Night

Dear Parents,
One last correction. The date listed on the previous flyer that I sent out was incorrect. (A huge thanks to Wes Ammons for catching that.) This year's Casino Night will take place on Saturday, January 30.  I have updated this information in the flyer, and I have attached the corrected version to this email. Please use this flyer moving forward.
 
Thanks,
Josh

Dear CWC Parents,
Many of you have just received an email (via our TicketLeap site) announcing our upcoming Casino Night on Saturday, January 30th. This is an incredibly fun, adult-oriented evening, and it is one that I hope you all can join us for. Many have asked me about ways to support the Cavalier Wrestling Club and the work we are doing with your kids. Attending this event, and, if you are able, sponsoring a table, are perfect ways to support our efforts.
 
Here's a brief synopsis of the evening: Our friends at Veritas Vineyard and Winery have once again gone out of their way to accommodate us. Doors will open at 6 pm, and Veritas will serve a delicious buffet-style dinner. Gaming will begin at 6:30 pm and will last until 9:30. We will have an open bar with wine and beer throughout the evening. The gaming is fun and not highly competitive, but we will have some fantastic prizes available at the end of the night.
 
Attached you will find a flyer for the event. Please circulate this to friends, family, and anyone else who you think would like to attend. I sincerely hope you all can join us.
 
All the best,
Josh Walker

Cavalier Wrestling Club Weekly Update

Dear CWC Parents,
Wow, what a great day of wrestling we had today! Thank you to everyone who made the trip to William Monroe High School for our matches against Greene County and Madison County. I believe that nearly all of our wrestlers got at least three matches, and some got as many as five or six! Most importantly, all of our wrestlers seemed to be enjoying themselves. More than anything, that is what makes us coaches happy.
 
I have several important announcements this week, including a schedule change and a match cancellation. Please continue reading below.
 
Elementary/Middle School practice canceled on Tuesday: Due to the UVA Men's Basketball game, this week's Tuesday night (Advanced) practice at UVA will be cancelled. (Next week's Tuesday night practice (Jan. 19) at UVA will also need to be cancelled for the same reason.) PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IN NO WAY AFFECTS PRACTICE FOR PEE WEE WRESTLERS. PEE WEE PRACTICE WILL TAKE PLACE AT CHARLOTTESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL AS SCHEDULED.
 
Thursday night match against Covenant, POSTPONED: In last week's update, I included a schedule of future competitions. That schedule listed a match against the Covenant School's Youth Wrestling Club slated for this Thursday evening. That match has been postponed and will now be held in conjunction with our match against Appomattox immediately preceding the UVA vs. Duke wrestling match in Memorial Gymnasium on Friday, January 22. Please see the updated schedule below for more information.
 
Match next Saturday against Waynesboro: The CWC will be hosting Waynesboro Youth Wrestling Club for a match in the UVA Wrestling Room next Saturday. The match is for all ages, and it will begin at 11 am. Additional details will be forthcoming later in the week. Pee Wee wrestlers who are interested in attending, please contact Coach Walker (jdw244@hotmail.com), and Elementary/Middle School Wrestlers, please contact Coach Kammauff (john.kammauff@varian.com).
 
Singlets: If you were given a singlet at today's wrestling match, please do your best to wash it and return it to Coach Chris Wiles during practice on Monday evening (or Tuesday for Pee Wee wrestlers). If, for whatever reason, you will be unable to wash the singlet prior to practice this week, please email Coach Wiles, at chris.wiles@stvfd.org, to let him know.
 
Casino Night: One of the CWC's most important (and fun) events of the year, Casino Night, is coming up on Saturday, January 30. More information will be coming out this week, but please purchase your tickets for the evening now using this link: http://cavalier.ticketleap.com/casino-night-2016/
 
Future Competitions:
  • Saturday, Jan. 16, at 11 am - Match with Waynesboro in the UVA Wrestling Room (CWC wrestlers should arrive by 10:30 am.)
  • Friday, Jan 22, at 4 pm - Matches against Covenant Youth Wrestling Club and Waynesboro Wrestling Club. These matches will take place in Memorial Gymnasium immediately preceding UVA's match against Duke. In between the CWC matches and the college match, the CWC will provide pizza for all wrestlers. All CWC wrestlers are encourage to stay for the college match to cheer on the Hoos!
  • Tuesday, Feb. 2 at (Time TBD) - Tri-Meet with Wilson Memorial (Middle School Wrestlers Only)
