Sunday's - Louisa - Central VA Regional Tournament

Hello CWC Parents,

  Following will be information for our Central Virginia Regional Tournament hosted at Louisa High School this weekend.  

• Location
• Louisa County High School
• 757 Davis Hwy, Mineral, VA 23117
• Time
• Weigh -ins
• EVERYONE must weigh in prior to the tournament at Louisa High School.  For those of you that have only participated in scrambles this is an added step.  Please arrive at Louisa High School between 7:00 - 8:00 am.  If your wrestler is not in line by 8:00 am he/she will not be allowed to wrestle.  
• Wrestling
• The plan is to start wrestling by 9:00 am if not sooner.  For those new to wrestling it is a rare occasion for tournaments to start on time.  There are a lot of moving parts.  My guess is we start wrestling between 9:00 am - 9:30 am.  
• Singlets
• Singlets are not required.  If you have one I would suggest wearing it though.  Wrestling shoes are needed and headgear is encouraged, but not required. If your wrestler has braces he/she will need a mouth guard.
• Team Warm Ups
• I will be there and try my best to get us a CWC corner to consolidate in.  As soon as possible, after weigh-ins, I will start warming the team up.  We will warm up for 20-30 minutes before clearing the mats for the start of the tournament. 
• Snacks
• I will have some snacks for our wrestlers and a cooler with some drinks.  Any wrestler is free to help themselves to the snacks.  You and your wrestler are responsible for any dietary limitations/restrictions.  
• Registration
• IMPORTANT - You MUST be pre-registered through Track Wrestling prior to arriving at the tournament. Here is the link https://www.trackwrestling.com/registration/TW_Register.jsp?tournamentGroupId=182043132  If you have any questions about how to register through Track wrestling please reach out asap.  I have attached my Track Wrestling "how to" document to this e-mail.  Once you have a Track Wrestling profile you will need to register for the "Central Region Youth Tournament".  Payment can be processed online through Track Wrestling.  I am a little concerned that not everyone who is planning on participating has completed registration yet.  Our team Google Spreadsheet (used for club purposes) shows over 20+ wrestlers planning on going.  When I looked at the list of CWC wrestlers registered through Track Wrestling we only have 16 wrestlers registered.  If you did not select CWC as your club team when you registered then it's possible you're not showing up in my search.  Once you have registered you should have received a confirmation e-mail from Track Wrestling.  Here is the list of wrestlers that have registered through Track Wrestling as a CWC member.  
• 
  
• If you have any questions please give me a call.  (434) 960-3372.  I will be at the UVA - vs - UNC wrestling match tomorrow night as well from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm if you plan to be there you can grab me then.  
• Thank you!
• I know this seems like a lot, but as you newer parents get acclimated to this process it will get easier...I promise.  I have a couple very busy days between now and Sunday, but please call with any questions or concerns.  This is going to be a great event for our club to attend and I can't tell you how happy the coaching staff is at the number of wrestlers we will have out this year.  I believe, if memory serves, we had 7-8 wrestlers last year.  We're looking at over 20 for this year.  

Have a great weekend,

Central Virginia Regional Tournament

Hello CWC Parents,

  This is just a quick reminder that this Sunday is the Central Virginia Regional Tournament at Louisa High School.  If you have any questions about it please let me know.  I believe the cutoff for pre registration is this Friday.  Online registrations are done through Track Wrestling.  Once you are registered please notate on the Google sheet that you are going so we coaches know who to expect.  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KhpBc6EKc95Yylj8Qt0JLu6smZk9NobkKZxqcL6JF3g/edit?usp=sharing  

  This should be a great tournament and a competitive way to end the season for most of our wrestlers.  For those that intend on competing at the State Tournament this will be a great warm up.  

See you at practice!

CWC - Newsletter - 2-10-2020

Hello CWC Families,

  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  The CWC had 12 wrestlers travel all the way to Hookie territory (ugly bird) and wrestle in the Blue Demon Brawl at Christiansburg High School.  The whole coaching staff was very proud of our boys efforts.  Finn, Nathan, Bronc, Mac, Turner, Russell, Jameson, Mason, Owen, Walter, Stephen and Lucas all benefited from competing at a very tough tournament.  Coach Earl said, "I am very proud of the way the boys competed yesterday.  This weekend was a great lesson for our boys and I hope they remember how tough it was".  

  We finished with four wrestlers making the podium.  Mac 2nd, Bronc 2nd, Jameson 3rd and Stephen 3rd.  This tournament was exactly the tune up we needed/wanted as we head into the Central VA Regional Tournament at the end of the month and the VAWA State Tournament.  Coach Earl says, "All review and conditioning this week" so make sure your wrestler is at practice and ready to work hard.  

  For most of our wrestlers, the last opportunity to compete this season will be on Sunday February 23rd at Louisa High School.  Here is the info I received from the Tournament Director.  

  Louisa is hosting the 2nd Annual Central Region Youth Tournament on Feb 23rd. Weigh-ins are from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM in a singlet (or shorts and a t-shirt.  Can't weigh-in in just underwear). Anyone not in line at 8 AM will NOT wrestle. Pre-registration is required. Headgear is not required, but encouraged. The cost is $10. Here is the link https://www.trackwrestling.com/registration/TW_Register.jsp?tournamentGroupId=182043132

This tournament is by invitation only currently. We are attempting to have a "post-season" feel for the kids and have a region followed by VAWA states the following week. Currently we have Louisa, Orange, CWC, and Greene along with the Richmond Metro League and some teams from the Valley. However, we are continually looking to expand and have invited more teams than last year.

We should be wrestling no later than 9:00 am but hopefully sooner. Concessions will be available (including breakfast). 

There will be a $2 spectator fee for non-USA coaches to help cover the costs of refs and medals. We will once again have VHSL certified officials. 

If you have any questions please just let me know.

Thank you,

Dan Bono

Louisa Wrestling Club

  This is a tournament that will require a Track Wrestling profile and for each wrestler to pre-register through Track Wrestling.  My "How-to" guide is attached.  Once you have decided if you are attending or not please update out CWC Team Google document.  Link to that document is here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KhpBc6EKc95Yylj8Qt0JLu6smZk9NobkKZxqcL6JF3g/edit?usp=sharing.  When you register, be sure to select the Cavalier Wrestling Club as your club.  When coaches login to Track wrestling the day of the tournament we will be able to see the schedules matches for all wrestlers in our club.

  I hope to get a large group of CWC wrestlers out to this.  It looks like we already have 16 wrestlers planning on going!  Even for beginner wrestlers this will be a great lesson in what a real tournament is like.  It will be a step up from a scramble.  As usual, I'll get there early and try to setup in a corner of the gym so parents and supporters can sit together.  I'll bring some snacks and drinks for the wrestlers.  

  The following weekend the VAWA State Tournament will be held at the Arthur Ashe Center in Richmond, VA.  This tournament is broken up into two days (Saturday/Sunday) by age.  This is by no means a scientific filter, but if your wrestler places at the Central VA Regional Tournament I would encourage they try to make the state tournament.  If you think your wrestler may be interested in competing, but you're not sure reach out to a coach at practice and we can offer our honest opinion on whether it would be a positive learning experience for your wrestler.  

  

  If you have any questions please reach out.
