Thank you to everyone who attended the youth recognition night last week! For those of you who were able to stay until the end, you witnessed an exciting dual meet with a great comeback victory by our high school kids! It was a fun atmosphere to be in!
Viper and Tournaments:
Our Viper Wrestling Club got kicked off last week as well. As a reminder, this is a practice geared towards those who would like to start competing on the weekends. A lot of weekend tournaments have started. If your athletes are interested in going to a tournament, let us know so we can try to get a coach there for them. You can find a list of sanctioned tournaments here: https://www.iswa.com/
Equipment:
If you’re going to be competing at tournaments, you’ll need a singlet, headgear and a mouthpiece. The club owns singlets and headgear that can be checked out for the season. They will need to be returned at the end of the season. Any items not returned will incur a $65/item replacement fee.
USA Cards:
We are finalizing everyone’s USA Wrestling cards and should start having those available for parents to pick up from Cheryl and Julie prior to practices. I will send a list out (hopefully) later this week that shows us who still needs date of birth verification for their cards.
Housekeeping:
– As the winter weather continues, please remember to leave all outdoor shoes and coats in the cubbies at the bottom of the stairs.
– If you’re dropping your athletes off for practice, please do not leave them unattended. We have a lot of other activities going on at the school and we can’t be disruptive to those activities, especially once gymnastics competitions begin.
Upcoming Dates:
December 27th – No practice
January 3rd – No practice
January 27th – Fairfield Dual @ WMS
January 29th – Wawasee Tournament @ WHS
See you all tonight!
