CWC Parents,
We wanted to share a quick note regarding opportunities for your children to compete. A parent volunteer (Andy McGinty) has worked hard to put coordinate these opportunities so many thanks to him.
To be clear, NONE OF THESE ARE REQUIRED, however competing is an important part of improving so we want to present these opportunities. For those of you new to wrestling we have classified the competition schedule into three separate categories.
1. Duals: These are competition opportunities where our club will compete against other local clubs. The CWC will have coaches at these and we will pair matches according to age/weight/ability to the best of our power.
a. These opportunities are listed here CWC Winter 2018 Schedule.
b. We will also ask you fill out this sheet with: whether or not they will attend, their weight, age, experience, level.
c. The week before the match we will send out more details (arrival time, confirmation of age groups, instructions, etc.)
d. The schedule is still not finalized, so there will likely be more opportunities added.
e. Note, not all opportunities are for all ages/levels.
2. Tournaments with CWC Coaches:
a. There are open tournaments that we will announce (on the schedule sheet above and/or on GameChanger) that CWC will have 1 or more coaches at.
b. You will have to register/pay for these separately through the registration process listed on the tournament announcement. We will provide the links for these when we announce them.
3. Tournaments WITHOUT CWC Coaches:
a. You are always free go to open tournaments to compete.
b. Here is a list of VAWA Tournaments and here as well Trackwrestling Tournament Page (on this one just "search events" for Virginia.
c. For the folks new to wrestling there are often "Rookie" tournaments for kids with <2 years of experience.
It has been a great year so far!!
CWC Parents,
Thank you all for your patience as we have adjust to our new practice location in Mem Gym. While things are different and there are challenges, please remember that the ability for kids to practice in the UVa Wrestling room is a very unique privilege that we can easily lose if we do not respect the rules and the facility staff.
1. We need to enter via the front entrance. It is OK to exit through the "back-door" proximate to the wrestling room.
2. There is ABSOLUTELY NO HORSEPLAY in the hallways/common areas before practice.
3. There is no problem arriving early for practice, but if you do so parents needs to be with their children and ensuring there is no horseplay.
4. Parents that are dropping their kids off. Please do not send your child into the building before 545pm. We will ensure that there is a coach there by 545pm. This is because we cannot have children in the facility unsupervised.
5. If we ever need to wait for the UVa team to complete practice. Please ensure that we in no way disturb them and that you keep the small hallway by the wrestling room entrance clear.
6. It is imperative that we are respectful of the facility staff. If we are not the entire club will suffer and the kids will lose out on what is a really cool opportunity to practice in a DI wrestling room.
Thank you again for your patience and please contact me if you have any questions.
CWC members and Parents,
Thank you for your continued patience as we adjust to our new facility. The management at Memorial Gym has prepared a small list of expectations for CWC to follow. I believe we have already implemented most of the Mem Gym Management requests but please take notice of the change in the entry for CWC members. We will now enter through the main entrance (not through the alley as they requested last week). Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your help in meeting the expectations.
