Free Wrestling Clinic! - Friday, February 2

Good afternoon,

Mark your calendars for a FREE wrestling clinic featuring World Bronze Medalist Jay Aiello Friday, February 2 before the Virginia Tech vs. UVA dual from 5-6 pm at John Paul Jones Arena! There will be FREE PIZZA for participants! 

Who: Beginner & Advanced Wrestlers 
What: Free Wrestling Clinic (free food at the end)
Where: John Paul Jones Arena
              295 Massie Rd
              Charlottesville, VA 22903
When: Friday 2/2/2024 from 5-6pm

You can stick around after to cheer on the Cavaliers as they battle the Hokies at 7 pm. UVA typically only does one home dual at JPJ, and it's great for kids because they kick it up a notch with the showmanship. They will have a spotlight, free gear between matches, a smoke tunnel and run out songs before each bout, and the band and dance team will perform.

For your convenience, you can purchase tickets to the UVA dual ahead of time at the link below. 

We hope to see you at the clinic and the dual! Go Hoos!

CWC Announcements 1/9

Good afternoon CWC Families,

If you have not signed up for the Richmond Metro Youth Wrestling League and wish to wrestle Sunday, please sign up on our website by this Thursday, January 11. As a reminder, this is a league for beginner wrestlers, and it is a great way to learn how to wrestle in tournaments and get some matches in with kids from other teams. The league is a one time payment of $35, which gets you access to 4 matches plus a t-shirt. The matches are at Deep Run High School near Richmond on the following dates:
  • Sunday 1/14  
  • Sunday 1/21 
  • Sunday 2/4  
  • Sunday 2/11 RMYWL Champs Tournament
More information, as well as the sign up, can be found on our website: http://www.cavalierwrestlingclub.org/shop/product/284485

---

Save the dates for these additional tournaments, which would be great opportunities for our wrestlers. The Mike Walters tournament is posted on https://www.trackwrestling.com/ and I attached the flyer to this email. Please let me know if you have questions about how to register your child for a tournament on trackwrestling.com.
  • 1/28: Mike Walters Tournament @Powhatan HS
  • 2/18: Regional Tournament @Louisa HS

We would love to see you at Casino Night on February 17! This is a fundraiser for the Cavalier Wrestling Club. The CWC has two branches: the scholastic program our kids are in, as well as a USA Wrestling Regional Olympic Training Center that funds athletes such as Jay Aiello. Jay was a USA National Team member last year, and he helps train our kids while he is training to compete at the USA Olympic Team Trials this April. Book your babysitters and come out for a fun evening of casino games and dinner! Sign up is on the website: http://www.cavalierwrestlingclub.org/shop/product/281946
