Hello Parents,
Another CWC newsletter is coming your way!
Greene County Scramble
Thank you to all those that were able to make it out for the Greene County Scramble last Sunday; the feedback was great! These scrambles are the best atmosphere for our new and beginner wrestlers to get valuable mat experience while maintaining a competitive, but educational environment.
I can't tell you how proud I was of our wrestlers! They did great. Hands were raised in victory and tears were shed in defeat, but every match proved to be a great experience. I can't wait to get them back on the mat again soon.
Louisa County Scramble
The Louisa County Scramble is quickly approaching and I would like to begin to nail down our roster for that by midweek if possible. Please access the Google Sheet and put your intentions on attending. Here is the link for anyone that still needs it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KhpBc6EKc95Yylj8Qt0JLu6smZk9NobkKZxqcL6JF3g/edit?usp=sharing. If you would just like to e-mail me if you plan to make it or not I will gladly update the sheet for you.
My plan is similar to last Sunday. Let's plan on getting to Louisa as close to 1:30 pm as possible so we can get setup in a corner and get our kids warmed up. It will be a similar format as the Greene event, but we will have some new wrestlers (the Culpeper Cobras) so our wrestlers will have the opportunity to face some new, strong, wrestlers. I will have a table and cooler with some drinks and snacks for the team (and anyone cheering them on). Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll get you an answer.
UVA – vs – VMI Pre-match
The pre-match is still set for Saturday, January 18th at 9:00 am in Memorial Gym. Please continue to either let me know or mark your intentions on making it to the pre-match. I am working with several out of town teams and need to provide rosters to them so they can match our wrestlers up with what they have. We don't want them bringing out a kid that we can't get a fair match with and I don't want to have a CWC wrestler come out that I can't provide a match for. So please check your calendars and see if you can make this event work.
As soon as we are done wrestling I will have drinks and pizza for all wrestlers to enjoy. Plan to stick around, if you can, to watch Coach Scott deal with his inter-turmoil while the Hoo's make light work of VMI! Let me know if you have any questions about this event.
Coach Steve Garland
For those that attend the Monday/Wednesday practices be sure to get there a few minutes early tomorrow. Coach Garland will be at the beginning of our practice to say a few words to the club. The CWC plays a big part in the Regional Training Center (RTC) and ultimately helps grow the level of competition for UVA wrestling. We wouldn't have Coach Earl without it!
| | Tickets on Sale NOW for January Dual vs Virginia Tech | |
| This season we'll welcome in-state rival Virginia Tech to battle in one of the nicest venues the country has to offer, the John Paul Jones Arena! Though a beautiful arena, we want the environment unforgiving towards the Hokies. To do that, it is going to take all hands on deck to reach our goal of 5,000 in attendance on January 31! If Iowa and Penn State can bring 20,000 for a dual, we sure as hell can find 5,000 heinies to fill seats. That said, we need all of your help! Put a big red circle around Friday, January 31 and invite everyone you know for a fun night of high-level wrestling.
The attendance goal is part of our staff's larger vision to have the highest average dual meet attendance in the ACC Conference. Some think we are crazy, and that may be true (for other reasons), but we want to build something special here in Charlottesville and with the help of Cavalier Nation we can get it done. | | |
| Something UVA Wrestling fans should get excited about is, for the first time ever, we'll be offering mat side seats! To reserve your Matside seats now, click on the link below!
Matside tickets will be sold at $50 per seat and benefits include premium seats, chalk talk and snacks with the coaching staff before the dual, a signed UVA Wrestling Poster, and a $25 credit for our annual CWC fundraising event "Casino Night" the following night.
THESE MATSIDE SEATS HAVE BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC! Our marketing team will start blasting out the advertisements next week so if you still want matside seats, get them today before the Hokies do! | |
Casino Night
Parents, you owe it to yourselves to take a little break and have some fun. If you can have fun and support the CWC is it even a question of whether or not to attend? Here is the link for the annual Casino Night http://www.cavalierwrestlingclub.org/camps/casino_night_2020/_e7G . My wife and I have gone the last couple years and it is always a good time. Food starts at 5:30 pm with fun casino games to follow. There is also a silent auction with some great gifts. We hope to see you there!
Sign in – USA Wrestling Cards – CWC Waivers
Please continue to sign in on the clipboard hanging on the wrestling room door. Also, there is a list of anyone who does not have a CWC waiver on file or a USA wrestling card. I will have a stack of waivers by the door. I just need a signature and your wrestlers name written on the top of the page. If you need help with the USA wrestling card let me know.
As always, thank you for your time, attention and your wrestlers!
P.S. I will be following up with my promised e-mail explaining Track Wrestling as soon as possible.
Thank you and have a great day!
