CWC Announcements 1/9

Good afternoon CWC Families,

If you have not signed up for the Richmond Metro Youth Wrestling League and wish to wrestle Sunday, please sign up on our website by this Thursday, January 11. As a reminder, this is a league for beginner wrestlers, and it is a great way to learn how to wrestle in tournaments and get some matches in with kids from other teams. The league is a one time payment of $35, which gets you access to 4 matches plus a t-shirt. The matches are at Deep Run High School near Richmond on the following dates:
  • Sunday 1/14  
  • Sunday 1/21 
  • Sunday 2/4  
  • Sunday 2/11 RMYWL Champs Tournament
More information, as well as the sign up, can be found on our website: http://www.cavalierwrestlingclub.org/shop/product/284485

---

Save the dates for these additional tournaments, which would be great opportunities for our wrestlers. The Mike Walters tournament is posted on https://www.trackwrestling.com/ and I attached the flyer to this email. Please let me know if you have questions about how to register your child for a tournament on trackwrestling.com.
  • 1/28: Mike Walters Tournament @Powhatan HS
  • 2/18: Regional Tournament @Louisa HS

We would love to see you at Casino Night on February 17! This is a fundraiser for the Cavalier Wrestling Club. The CWC has two branches: the scholastic program our kids are in, as well as a USA Wrestling Regional Olympic Training Center that funds athletes such as Jay Aiello. Jay was a USA National Team member last year, and he helps train our kids while he is training to compete at the USA Olympic Team Trials this April. Book your babysitters and come out for a fun evening of casino games and dinner! Sign up is on the website: http://www.cavalierwrestlingclub.org/shop/product/281946

Save the dates to cheer on UVA Wrestling at their two home duals next month!

  • Friday, February 2 vs. Virginia Tech 7:00 at John Paul Jones Arena
  • Friday, February 16 vs. UNC at 8:30 p.m. at Memorial Gym


Have a great rest of your week!

CWC Announcements / Tournament Opportunity

CWC Families,

We hope your wrestlers have enjoyed the first week of practice! Please continue to sign them in and out of practice each day on the sign in sheet in the wrestling room. Also, please enter through the back of Memorial Gym on the side nearest the parking garage. The door will be propped open at least 10 minutes before practice. If you missed the first day of practice parent meeting, I have attached an outline of what Coach Jimmy and Coach Trent discussed. 

We will be ordering our annual free CWC T-shirt soon, so FILL OUT THIS FORM to let me know your children's sizes. Please have this done by Wednesday, December 6.

If you did not get a chance to order singlets, shirts, etc. from our NEW TEAM STORE, this is the LAST AND FINAL CHANCE! They have not closed it down yet, but our online store will officially close tonight 12/1 at midnight, so place your orders now! https://cavalierwrestlingclub.itemorder.com/shop/home/

If you are interested in helping our coaches on the mat, we welcome all parents. You are required by USA Wrestling to have a background check and Safe Sport training to be on the mat. To do this, log in to your account at  https://www.usawmembership.com/. Create your own profile, and follow the directions to complete the background check and Safe Sport training. Email me a photo of your card or usaw# once this is completed.

I have attached a flyer for a TOURNAMENT OPPORTUNITY next Saturday, December 9 in Lynchburg. Registration is due on trackwrestling by Friday 12/8 at 8:00 p.m. There will be a CWC coach at this tournament. Feel free to email me or talk to a coach before/after practice if you have questions about tournaments. Also please email me to let me know if you have signed up, so our coaches know who is coming.

Here is our holiday practice schedule:
  • Week of December 18-21: normal practice schedule
  • Week of December 25-29: NO PRACTICE
  • January 1: normal practice schedule resumes


Have a great weekend!
