Friday Event at Covenant

I just received an email from the coach at Covenant. Friday's match will be at Covenant's Upper School (175 Hickory Street) this time. 
We will begin at 4:30pm on two mats. As of this morning they have about 8 kids that are elementary age. The weights range from 50lbs to 90lbs. Any of our CWC kids that are close to or in that range should be able to get at least one match. They have several middle school kids from several schools listed as attending. Middle school kids should get several matches. 

Also, don't forget the UVA Wrestling Team will be wrestling Nationally ranked NC State at Memorial Gym at 7:00 this Friday night! It's FREE and very family friendly!

Meeting with Coach Garland

CWC Parents,

 

A couple of things:

-          UVa Head Coach Steve Garland would like to chat with the CWC Club parents tomorrow for 5-10 min at the beginning of practice (6pm) at Mem Gym. 

o   He wants to introduce himself and give a little background on the structure of the CWC.  Specifically, the involvement of the CWC-Olympic Regional Training Center resident athletes in the CWC Youth Program. 

 

-          A reminder to get registered for the CWC Casino Night (see attached) that will take place Saturday 23 Feb at the English Inn at 530pm.  It is a great opportunity to meeting the UVa staff/team, mingle with other CWC parents, and support the CWC.  Register HERE.

 

-          UVa Wrestling has a huge match this Friday at 7pm against NC State at Mem Gym.  The matches are free and they are a BLAST.  My kids fell in love with wrestling by attending; you are close the action and there is a ton of excitement.  Please come out and support the Hoos!!!!

 

Thanks,

 

CWC Coaches

 

Friday Evening Wrestling @ Covenant

Friday's match will be at Covenant's Upper School (175 Hickory Street) this time. 
We will begin at 4:30pm on two mats. Buford and Hargrave are both bringing MS teams, so there will be lots of matches for MS guys. We are the only other Youth team besides Covenant, however, and they don't have a ton of youth wrestlers. The Covenant match director will reach out to their youth coach and get a confirmed list of their youth wrestlers coming on Friday so we know what to expect.

Message about Sunday at Orange

From Dan Bono (Wrestling Director for Sunday)

Gentleman,

This Sunday we will be at Orange at their field house near the high school. Please be there by 11:30 with wrestling to begin no later than 1:00.

I will still be doing the pairings so please have your list updated and to me no later than Friday night. I am willing to accommodate people who show up or pull kids who don't show up but it just makes it later to start and the pairings are not as good.

Speaking of pairings, if you have a kid who you think needs to go up a weight division or an age bracket to get better competition please let me know. Conversely, if you have a kid that is getting hammered and needs to be in a competitive match please let me know, I'll do my best to get them in the best group.

I currently break it into K-1, 2-3, and 4-5. Depending on records I may move a 1st grader up to into 2nd grader groups or a 3rd to wrestle 4th graders (etc.). If I have birthdays you may see an older 3rd grader wrestle a young 5th grader for example.

If you have any questions please let me know. I appreciate everyone's support and feedback.

This Weekend Wrestling and Mem Request

CWC Parents,

 

A couple of reminders:

-          There is a competition opportunity this weekend Jan 27.

o It will be at ORANGE COUNTY High School in the field house. Notice, this is a change from the spreadsheet!

 *Please report by 11:30, Wrestling will start before 1:00 

o   If you plan to attend fill out the SPREADSHEET  By 1:00 on Friday

-          Mem Gym considerations

o   As you enter, could you please encourage the kids to NOT use the handicap buttons, this keeps the doors open for 30 seconds and makes it very cold for the front desk staff when done repeatedly.

o   Please ensure that you keep the walkways/hallways clear the best that we can.  I know it can get crowded but your efforts are appreciated

§  This is particularly pertinent to the back stairwell, you can sit there but please ensure that you maintain a clear path.

-          A reminder to sign up for the Casino Night on Sat 23 Feb.  Register/donate HERE.

Thank you for your help and support!
