Cavalier Wrestling Club Winter Season Banquet - March 13

Dear CWC Parents,
It is official! Our Cavalier Wrestling Club Banquet will take place on Sunday, March 13, at Walker Upper Elementary School. I sincerely hope you can all join us. The "banquet" is actually more like a family-friendly barbecue, and it will be our chance to you tell you one last time just how amazing we think your kids are. Each wrestler will leave with their very own medal, which they have more than earned through all their hard work this past winter.
 
Please RSVP for the banquet now using this link: http://cavalier.ticketleap.com/2016-cavalier-wrestling-club-banquet/.
 
A few more quick updates
Several of you have emailed with questions regarding the local wrestling tournaments occurring this weekend. I highly encourage you all to sign your kids up to participate. The CWC plans to have coaches at both Wilson Memorial High School and Orange County High School. No matter which tournament you choose to attend, we will have someone there to coach your child. HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD FOR THESE COMPETITIONS, AND EACH TOURNAMENT HAS A REGISTRATION FEE THAT WILL NEED TO BE PAID IN FOR THEM TO PARTICIPATE. More information can be found below (and attached to this email.)
 
  • Saturday, March 5 at Wilson Memorial High School in Fishersville - Youth Wrestling Tournament >>> SEE THE ATTACHED FORM FOR MORE INFORMATION.
  • Saturday, March 5 at Orange County High School - Orange K-8 Tournament >>> Click Here for more complete tournament information and registration.
 
All the best,

RE: Cavalier Wrestling Club Weekly Update

Parents,
A few quick clarifications regarding the email I sent out last night.
 
  • The special Pee Wee practice will take place TONIGHT, at 6 pm, in the UVA Wrestling Room, not "next Tuesday" as I incorrectly stated in the bolded heading below. This will be the final Pee Wee practice of the Winter Session, and we plan to make it a fun one.
 
  • Wrestlers competing in Staunton against the Young Warriors this evening should arrive by 6 pm (or a few minutes before). Wrestling will begin as soon as possible after arrival.
 
  • There will be no Elementary/Middle School practice tonight, BUT THERE WILL BE ONE FINAL PRACTICE THIS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25.
 
  • Wrestlers who have not yet received their t-shirts can pick them up at our banquet on Sunday, March 13. (We will be sending more information about the banquet as soon as we have confirmed a venue.
 
  • Attached to this email you will find more information about the wrestling tournament at Wilson Memorial High School (Fishersville) on Saturday, March 5. This a good tournament that is close by, and I would recommend attending if your child would enjoy it.
 
Have a great day!

CWC Practice Tonight: Tues, Feb 16

Dear CWC Parent,

Mother nature is doing her best to keep us off the mats! Charlottesville City Schools have been canceled for today which means we cannot access the CHS wrestling room. We will run a combined practice (Pee Wee + Elementary/Middle School) at the UVA Wrestling Room (directions here: http://cavalierwrestlingclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Directions-to-Onesty-Hall.pdf).

If you feel it is safe for you to travel, we'll see you there tonight at 6 pm. If not, practice will be back on the regular schedule for the remainder of the week. 

Please consider the following if you do make it to practice tonight:
  1. Mats: Please remove your shoes before stepping onto the mats. There will be a lot of wet feet coming in from outside.
  2. Noise: The UVA Room can get pretty noisy with a crowd in there. Please be considerate of the coaches when they are teaching by minimizing conversations and asking younger siblings to be mindful when the coaches are talking.
Thanks! See you tonight.
