Practice and the Beehive Brawl

Parents:

We will have our first Team Takedown practice on Wednesday, January 21st. Please have your child to the gym by 5 pm, ready to wrestle! Practice will end at 7:00 pm.

We are having a two hour practice on Wednesday, because it will be our only practice for the week. The middle school team has their Region Tournament, so the coaches and middle school kids will be over in Richfield for that on Thursday the 22nd.

For this practice we will spend time going over and learning all the basics.

The Beehive Brawl is January 23-24. You must have a USA card to attend. If you want to go and don't have a card, you can purchase one here. You have to sign up on Track Wrestling. If you click here, you will go to the track wrestling home page. Just do a search for the Beehive Brawl and register from there.  If you need help, let one of the coaches know.

Click here for the Beehive Brawl Flyer. It has all the weigh in information and tournament start times.

The Beehive Brawl is a National Tournament, so there will be a LOT of kids there, from all over the U.S. If your child is a beginner wrestler, you may want to consider skipping this one...

We have decided on a team singlet, and they will run around $45 (the price depends on how many we order). Wrestlers who have the orange singlet from last year are fine to use that, or you can get a new one if you want. They will be a different design this year. New wrestlers will be required to order an orange singlet (or purchase an old one from another wrestler who may have grown out of theirs).

If you have been on the team before, and would like to sell your singlet or shoes (that are still in good shape), please bring them to practice on Wednesday, along with an idea of what you would like to sell them for.

We should hopefully have an idea of tournament dates by Wednesday. We do know that State will be on March 28th in Salina. We will update this site when the schedules are released.

We are looking forward to an awesome season! See you Wednesday!
