CWC Parents,
We wanted to share a quick note regarding opportunities for your children to compete. A parent volunteer (Andy McGinty) has worked hard to put coordinate these opportunities so many thanks to him.
To be clear, NONE OF THESE ARE REQUIRED, however competing is an important part of improving so we want to present these opportunities. For those of you new to wrestling we have classified the competition schedule into three separate categories.
1. Duals: These are competition opportunities where our club will compete against other local clubs. The CWC will have coaches at these and we will pair matches according to age/weight/ability to the best of our power.
a. These opportunities are listed here CWC Winter 2018 Schedule.
b. We will also ask you fill out this sheet with: whether or not they will attend, their weight, age, experience, level.
c. The week before the match we will send out more details (arrival time, confirmation of age groups, instructions, etc.)
d. The schedule is still not finalized, so there will likely be more opportunities added.
e. Note, not all opportunities are for all ages/levels.
2. Tournaments with CWC Coaches:
a. There are open tournaments that we will announce (on the schedule sheet above and/or on GameChanger) that CWC will have 1 or more coaches at.
b. You will have to register/pay for these separately through the registration process listed on the tournament announcement. We will provide the links for these when we announce them.
3. Tournaments WITHOUT CWC Coaches:
a. You are always free go to open tournaments to compete.
b. Here is a list of VAWA Tournaments and here as well Trackwrestling Tournament Page (on this one just "search events" for Virginia.
c. For the folks new to wrestling there are often "Rookie" tournaments for kids with <2 years of experience.
It has been a great year so far!!
CWC Parents,
Thank you all for your patience as we have adjust to our new practice location in Mem Gym. While things are different and there are challenges, please remember that the ability for kids to practice in the UVa Wrestling room is a very unique privilege that we can easily lose if we do not respect the rules and the facility staff.
1. We need to enter via the front entrance. It is OK to exit through the "back-door" proximate to the wrestling room.
2. There is ABSOLUTELY NO HORSEPLAY in the hallways/common areas before practice.
3. There is no problem arriving early for practice, but if you do so parents needs to be with their children and ensuring there is no horseplay.
4. Parents that are dropping their kids off. Please do not send your child into the building before 545pm. We will ensure that there is a coach there by 545pm. This is because we cannot have children in the facility unsupervised.
5. If we ever need to wait for the UVa team to complete practice. Please ensure that we in no way disturb them and that you keep the small hallway by the wrestling room entrance clear.
6. It is imperative that we are respectful of the facility staff. If we are not the entire club will suffer and the kids will lose out on what is a really cool opportunity to practice in a DI wrestling room.
Thank you again for your patience and please contact me if you have any questions.
CWC members and Parents,
Thank you for your continued patience as we adjust to our new facility. The management at Memorial Gym has prepared a small list of expectations for CWC to follow. I believe we have already implemented most of the Mem Gym Management requests but please take notice of the change in the entry for CWC members. We will now enter through the main entrance (not through the alley as they requested last week). Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your help in meeting the expectations.
Cavalier Wrestling Club Expectations
· The Cavalier Wrestling Club is an Athletic Department sponsored program that is to be contained within the UVA Wrestling Practice Room to avoid interruption to IM-REC Sports and Kinesiology operations.
· The Wrestling Observation Deck must remain locked and void of CWC athletes and family members at all times. Waiting family members should also avoid sitting on the stairwells or hallways that may impede egress.
· CWC participant and family members do not have access to Memorial Gymnasium recreational spaces including Fitness Rooms, Combative Room, Gymnasium, Multi-Purpose Room and Track.
· The existing Memorial Gymnasium hallway benches may be use for the waiting CWC family members along with the Lower Level Conference Room once that space if completed.
· For consistency with other Athletic Programs; all participants should enter through the front doors of Memorial Gymnasium for access and to be greeted by facility staff.

Coaches include: 3x National Qualifier Shelton Mack, NCAA All American (under JOHN SMITH) Eddie Klimara, and 2x All American and NAIA Finalist Ceron Fransisco.
The Cavalier Wrestling Club's Spring 2018 Scholastic Session is for wrestlers of all levels and weight classes. For more information contact Rick Palmer at rpalmercwc@gmail.com or visit http://www.cavalierwrestlingclub.org/_scholastic_program
My name is Rick Palmer, and I am the new Scholastic Program Director for the Cavalier Wrestling Club. We are grateful for the support from our SP Volunteer Coaches. This program is a success because of them. In order to show our appreciation to the volunteers who dedicate their time and skills to our club, we are hosting a Coaches Social Event at the TIMBERWOOD TAP HOUSE (near Wegmans) on Saturday March 10th at 5:00pm. If you are able to come thank the coaches and socialize, we would love to see you there.
CWC Parents,
A couple of notes:
- The Pee-Wee practice on Tuesday 20 Feb 2018 will be run as an inter-squad “match” (same location and same time as always). We think that the kids will really enjoy this and it will be a low-stress opportunity for the kids to get the feel for what a competition is like. The kids may want to wear their singlets if they have one and would like to wear them.
o The Advanced Practice on Tuesday will continue as normal.
- A reminder that the CWC will be hosting a K-8 tournament on Sat 24 Feb (K-5th at 9am; 6-8th at 11am). Please indicate HERE if you plan to attend. See the prior message from Chris Wiles for further details.
- There will be two changes in leadership for the CWC
o I will be stepping down as the CWC President and Travis Paulson will be taking over this position.
o Tommy Mello will be stepping down as the Scholastic Program Director and Rick Palmer will be taking over as the SPD.
§ Note that Rick is planning to be at practice on Tuesday night so I will be happy to introduce him to you all.
- For those interested in having your child stay on the mat in the Spring we will be offering a Spring Session. Details and registration are located HERE.
Regards,
Jimmy Burns

CWC Parents,
A couple of notes:
- Our annual “Casino Night” fundraiser will take place this Saturday, 10 Feb 2018 at the English Inn at 530pm (see attached flier). This event is the primary fundraiser for the CWC Olympic Regional Training Center and the CWC Scholastic Program (that is you guys!!!). This fundraiser helps enable your kids to be coached by former All-Americans (like Eddie Klimara who runs every Monday practice). Let’s have a good showing of CWC Scholastic Program parents at the event this year.
o Register for the event HERE.
- We will be hosting a Dual Match on Sunday at Memorial Gym (warms-ups at 830am; wrestling starts at 9am)
o The match is before the UVa-VT Dual meet so we have a tight time window, thus will be setting match pairings beforehand. In order to participate you must sign up here by 5pm on Thursday evening.
o The CWC will be treating the wrestlers to pizza after the youth match (1130am), so…
- Please stick around Memorial Gym after the youth match to watch UVa take on VT on Sunday. The match will start at 1pm.
See you all this weekend.

Wrestling in the gym at William Monroe High School begins at 2:30 on Sunday. Warm ups will start at 2:00.
This is only for grades K-5th grade. There will be no middle school matches.
We will be running 4 matches at a time.
Most wrestlers will get 3 or 4 matches and we should be done between 5:00 and 5:30.
