Tournaments

Parents:

It looks like the next couple tournaments are going to require a USA card to participate. If you want to attend these tournaments, you'll need to purchase the full athlete membership for $40. As far as I can tell, the only tournaments you won't need a card for are Gunnison and *possibly* State in Salina. Salina has never required a card in the past, so I doubt they'll require it for State, but we won't know for sure until they post the tournament information.

You have until tomorrow at 5:00 pm to register for the Wasatch tournament in Heber City. If you are planning on registering, please let us know at practice tonight so we can weigh in your wrestler.

Click Here to purchase a USA Card if you are wanting to participate in the tournaments that require one.

This Week & South Sevier Slideshow

Congratulations wrestlers for an AWESOME weekend at South Sevier! Our team did AMAZING! I know we took home quite a few gold medals!

 South Sevier hasn't updated the track website, so I don't know what places everyone took... If they update it, I'll re-post the results here.

This weekend's tournament was supposed to be in Emery. It's been cancelled, so we will be going to the Wasatch Folkstyle tournament in Heber City. Click Here for the tournament flyer. You will need a USA Card (full membership) to attend this tournament. If you want to go and don't have a USA card, you can purchase a membership here.  If I remember right, a full membership is like $40, and is good until August. When you register for the tournament, be sure you register for FOLKSTYLE (not Freestyle or Greco). The cost is $12.

We will do weigh in's for the tournament at practice on Wednesday. If you are planning on going, please register by Wednesday so we can get your wrestlers weight at practice. Click Here to go to Track Wrestling to sign up. Don't accidently register for the "Wasatch Wrestling Club"! Make sure you click on "Wasatch Folkstyle Tournament".

Heres the slideshow from South Sevier. There are right around 100 pictures. Enjoy!

South Sevier Tournament

This week, we will have practice as scheduled: Wednesday from 5-7 pm.

This Saturday is our first tournament! It's at South Sevier. To register, please click here. Scroll until you find "South Sevier Little League" and click on the link. Follow the directions to register. For this tournament, you will enter your wrestlers weight during registration. There will not be any official weigh ins. PLEASE BE HONEST!!! If they check your child's weight at the tourment and find that it was wrong, he will be disqualified.

If you are new to Track Wrestling and have problems signing up, please contact one of the coaches and they will help you out. Registration closes Friday at 5:00 pm, so please register early. Don't wait till the last minute, just in case you have difficulties registering.

Wrestling will begin at 9:00 am. Please be at South Sevier High School (350 W 100 S, Monroe)  between 8-8:30 am so you can find your mat and warm up.

For the new guys that aren't aware:  We always warm up as a team. When you get to the school, please find the other boys and stick with them. After we warm up, we'll split and go to our own mats.

We will try our best to get pictures of every wrestler to include in the slideshow. Sometimes it's hard, especially if we are in seperate gyms. Please forward any pictures you want included in the slideshow to Shanelle at swinn1@farmersagent.com by Sunday evening. We try to have the slideshows up the Monday after tournaments.

Most of the gear has arrived and been handed out. If you haven't received your items, please come into the gym during practice and we'll get it to you. Gear has to be paid for before we will let you take it.

Fundraiser and Super State

Parents:

Amy Anderson (Jerrit's mom) is putting together a fundraiser to help with the cost of wrestling. The money you earn can go towards tournaments, to reimburse yourself for your wrestling fee that you already paid, or gear.

The fundraiser that has been chosen is Butter Braid. They are sooooo good! They cost $12 each, and you get $5 for each one sold. All the money goes directly to you, and you can use it how you choose to.

Please visit butterbraid.com to see what they offer.  

If you have questions, you can call or text Amy at 435-979-8233. She will have all the information at practice on Wednesday, February 11th for those who are interested.


We have a few wrestlers headed to Super State this weekend. We want to wish Keegan, Braygen, Tezlin, Kelan, and Hunter GOOD LUCK! We know you'll do great!

First Practice and the Beehive Brawl

We had a great first practice! Hopefully everyone had a great time and learned a few things :)  Please remember to bring any gently used shoes or singlets if you are wanting to sell them.


The boys thought they were just playing a game, but secretly got some conditioning in!

Bear Crawls!


Region Wrestling for the Middle School is tonight in Richfield. We want to wish our Team Takedown Wrestlers Tezlin, Damon, Ty, Kent, and Bridger Good Luck! We know you'll do great!

Fridy and Saturday is the Beehive Brawl in Richfield. Good Luck to Cody, Hunter, Keegan, Braygen, Ty, Tristan, Braxton, and Tezlin! We'll post results and pics on Monday!

The coaches haven't decided on the practice schedule for next week yet, we'll have that updated by Sunday evening. Next week is State for the Middle Schooler's, so we will need to work around that.

Gear Swap

One of the Team Takedown parents had a great idea.... To list the items they are selling (or looking for) so we know ahead of time what is available.

If you have any gear or shoes you want to buy/sell, please let Shanelle know, and we'll post it on this website. You can email swinn1@farmersagent.com, or teamtakedownwrestling@yahoo.com 

We will also list the person selling the items, so you can contact them individually if you want to buy their items.

**Wrestler Owen has a pair of Nike wrestling shoes, size 3.5, for $15.  He is also looking for size 5 wrestling shoes. His brother Emmett is looking for everything, in a youth small.   If you can help them out or would like to purchase the Nike shoes, please contact them at  Out4elk@gmail.com.

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!


Wednesday, January 14, 2015

Thank You to the parents and wrestlers who came to the Parent Meeting last night! We are excited to start the season and look forward to getting to know your kids!

The coaches will finalize the practice schedule this weekend and we will post it by Sunday evening.

We don't have a price yet on singlets, we are exploring different avenues for those to try and keep the price affordable. We will be planning on ordering soon, so we can have them here in time for our first tournament.

If any of you have wrestling shoes or the orange singlet that don't fit anymore (and are still in good condition), and want to sell them, please plan on bringing them to the first practice (along with a price you would like for them). Some of the other wrestlers may be interested in purchasing those items.
