Hello CWC Parents,
Our kids have been wrestling hard this week and they are going to have plenty of opportunity to put their skills to the test this weekend. First, I wanted to clarify that we are having practice on Martin Luther King Day. I know schools are closed that day, but we are holding practice and will work some of the energy out of the kids! If you ever have a question about the practice schedule I have a printed copy of the entire seasons schedule on the wrestling room door and it is available on a tab at the bottom of the shared Google Document.

For those wrestlers that are coming out for the UVA Prematch Showcase please plan on arriving between 8:30 am - 9:00 am. We will get a quick warm up in and start wrestling at 9:30 am. I have put together matches with the Culpeper Cobras and Midlothian Miners so that everyone of our wrestlers gets two matches. Due to the large turnout of our CWC wrestlers I did have to match up a couple of our wrestlers against teammates. We simply didn't have the numbers from the visiting clubs to accommodate our large turnout. This will still be a great event and the kids will get to wrestle on the same mat that the UVA guys will use later that morning...so a very cool experience for them. Please encourage your wrestler to take their match seriously even if they are matched up with a teammate. It will still be a great learning experience in a unique environment. Our plan is to finish wrestling by 11:30 am with a hard stop time of 11:45 am so that the UVA and VMI teams can get ready. The CWC will have Papa Johns Pizza (Cheese and Pepperoni) and drinks for all the wrestlers to enjoy while we wait for the college match to start at 1:00 pm. Wear your wrestling shoes, singlets and headgear if you have them, but if you are still ok with shorts and a t-shirt. Headgear is not required for this event. At this point, we have no intention of canceling the event for weather. They are calling for mostly rain and possibly a wintry mix throughout the day. Our visiting clubs have committed to coming and I think we may just luck out with the weather conditions. Please reach out with any questions.
Wrestlers that are going to the Greene County Scramble please plan on getting there between 1:30 and 2:00 pm Sunday. I am excited at out turnout at this point! We have 21 wrestlers signed up to go and it's not too late for others that still want in. Please update the Google Document or e-mail me and I'll update for you. In addition to Greene and Louisa the Culpeper Warriors are planning on bringing 10-15 wrestlers so some of our wrestlers may get to see some new faces!
Thank you for all your support. Wrestling parents deserve a special place in Heaven...not everyone understands what it is like to sit in a smelly gym for hours to cheer on your wrestler for just a couple minutes, but when they get their hand raised and look over at you with that smile (Cooper) you know it's worth it!!
Let me know if you have any questions,
