Cavalier Wrestling Club Expectations

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.

Memorial Gym Practices

  Thank you all for a great first week of practice! For those of you who are attending CWC elementary and middle school practices at Memorial Gym please use the side door off of the alley near the parking garage. There should be a coach at the door or you may use the buzzer to gain entry. Also, the upstairs level of the wrestling room will not be open to spectators. We were told the fire code will not allow large numbers of people around the upper level platform. 

Sorry about the confusion. You are welcome to sit against the wall in the wrestling room and in the hall near the stairs. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. See you this week!

Camp

CWC Parents/ Guardians,

Thank you all for signing up for the Building Basics Camp! We have the perfect number of wrestlers for this camp so it is sure to be a great learning experience. We will be in the Western Albemarle High School Wrestling Room  (

5941 Rockfish Gap Turnpike

 

 Crozet , VA 22932) for all sessions. To find the wrestling room make a left in the parking lot and head toward the tennis courts. The wrestling room will be the last possible entrance into the building before you hit the tennis courts (please only enter through this door).

If your wrestlers have wrestling gear they are welcome to bring it. Wrestling shoes are not required but wrestlers will not be allowed to wear street shoes on the mat. Some kids practice in socks and that is fine for the beginner level. Play it Again Sports sells used small wrestling shoes for less than $20 if anyone needs a pair. Other than the wrestling gear, physical education or gym (workout) attire is perfect for the camp.  The camp will run from 1:00-2:30 June 25-28. If you have any other questions feel free to email me. Thank you again, I look forward to seeing you on Monday at 1:00!
