Wrestling Opportunities

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!!
