Dear CWC Parents,
I hope that your new year is off to a great start! Saturday's matches vs Orange and Greene went really well. It's fun to see so many of our wrestlers get wins. However, far more important is to see their development. We will wrestle tougher competition where the wins will be harder to come by but the development will continue to be our goal. The coaches have identified three areas of improvement that will be covered in this week's practices. Thank you to all of those who came out!
Here are some important announcements for this week:
- No practice Wednesday: UVa has a home men's basketball game on Wed so practice is canceled. The next conflict is Thurs, Jan 22nd. Mark your calendar now!
- Middle School Match Tuesday: On Tuesday, Jan 6, the MS team has a match at 6:00 pm at Waynesboro at Kate Collins MS. This is primarily for youth in 6th-8th grades, but will allow some of our more advanced 5th graders. Let Coach Kammauff know by Tuesday at 10 AM if you will be attending.
- Pee Wee Change: We are being asked by AHS administration to move our Pee Wee practice start time from 6:15 to 6:30 to increase safety in the parking lots (this is a high traffic time of evening). Please be prompt as we will begin practices at 6:30 sharp so that we can get a full hour in and get you out the door by 7:30.
- Schedule page: Please keep this page handy. We have been contacted by a club from Roanoke that wants to travel to Charlottesville to wrestle against us. As opportunities like this arise, we will communicate it to you and add it to the website. http://cavalierwrestlingclub.org/winter-2014-matches/
- Contacting coaches: While Josh Walker is the executive director, please reach out to your age-group coach with questions or other needs.
- Pee Wee: Josh Walker jdw244-at-hotmail.com
- Elementary: John Davidson jed-at-dklawyers.com
- Middle School: John Kammauff john.kammauff-at-varian.com
- Casino Night: There are a lot of hidden costs of running the CWC. Facility fees, singlets/gear and insurance alone costs over $10,000. We typically run a few fundraisers throughout the season, one of which is the annual Casino Night. This year we have been invited to host it at the beautiful Veritas Winery on Saturday, January 24th! I hope you'll join us. If you can't please consider sponsoring a table. Details here.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Cavalier Wrestling Club Coaches
