Important CWC Update: Practice changes and more

Dear CWC Parents,
I hope that you've all had a great weekend!  Congrats to those who made the trip to William Monroe High School for our match with Greene County this afternoon.  I was unable to attend, but our coaches informed me that it was another fantastic showing by our wrestlers.  Great job, everyone!
 
We have some exciting things planned for this coming week, including an opportunity to hold practice inside Memorial Gymnasium immediately before UVA wrestles NC State this coming Thursday night!  Please continue reading below, as there are several items that you will need to be aware of.
 
Monday night practice is CANCELLED
Tomorrow night, the UVA men's basketball team will be taking on Pitt in the John Paul Jones Arena.  As is the case whenever there is a men's basketball game, we need to vacate the UVA parking lots - meaning practice is cancelled.  (That said, it's a big game so make sure you tune in to cheer on the basketball team tomorrow night.  Go Hoos!)
 
Bad weather and what it means for our practices.
There appears to be a significant chance of winter weather hitting our area tomorrow night and Tuesday. If practice needs to be cancelled due  dangerous weather conditions, you will receive an email from either myself or from one of the other CWC coaches.  If you do not receive an email from us, you can expect practice to take place as scheduled.  If the weather conditions are even a little bit suspect, please make sure you check your email prior to bringing your child to practice.  Here are a few additional things to keep in mind.

• (PEE WEE) Practices at Albemarle High School will always depend upon the school being open.  In a situation where the Albemarle County Schools are closed (due to poor weather or otherwise), or if they cancel after-school activities, our practices will also be CANCELLED.
• (ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL) Cancellation of practices held in the UVA wrestling room will be subject our discretion.

 
Reminder: Pee Wee pictures on Tuesday night
Pee Wee parents - Please send your child to practice wearing their CWC t-shirt on Tuesday evening.  We will be taking individual and team photos to start the practice that night.  (In the case that practice is cancelled due to weather, we will reschedule the picture session, and I will be in touch with follow-up information.)
 
Practice for Elementary and Middle School wrestlers before the UVA match this Thursday, Feb. 19 at 5:30 pm
This Thursday evening, the UVA wrestling team will take on NC State here in Charlottesville.  UVA Coach Steve Garland has invited our CWC wrestlers to practice on the warm up mats inside Mem Gym from 5:30 - 6:30 pm.  This will mean a slightly earlier practice time than usual, but it is an amazing opportunity to wrestle in the same venue that the Cavaliers compete in each weekend.  I highly encourage all wrestlers to stick around after the practice for what will be a very exciting college wrestling match.
 
Thank you all for another great week of wrestling!  The winter season is winding down, and we are already making plans for our Spring Session.  For those of you whose children are interested in continuing to wrestle with us this spring, we will be in touch with more information in the coming weeks.
 
Have a great week!

PEE WEE wrestlers will have their pictures taken next Tuesday, February 17 at 6:30 pm in the Albemarle High School wrestling room.  Again, we encourage all pee wee wrestlers to the be there that evening, and PLEASE WEAR YOUR CWC T-SHIRTS.
 
A big thanks to Tod Cohen of TSS Photography for coming out to take these photos.  Parents - after the photos are taken, you will receive a follow up email from TSS Photography with information about how to order your child's photos.  All prints will be mailed directly to you.
 
Match this weekend
Many of you received the email from Coach Kammauff earlier today about the late-developing match this Sunday, February 15 against Greene County.  Wrestling will take place at William Monroe High School in Stanardsville, starting at 2 pm.  This match is open to all ELEMENTARY AND PEE WEE WRESTLERS.
 
Please email Coach Kammauff at john.kammauff@varian.com if you are interested in participating.  (Please copy me on the email as well - jdw244@hotmail.com.)
 
Thank you and your kids again for another great week of wrestling.
 
All the best,
