Team Singlets and parent shirts

We will have singlets at practice tomorrow night for sizing. Parents, please come in with your child so we can size them and get their singlet ordered. They will be $40 each.

We will also be ordering parent shirts, along with the wrestler shirts and singlets. They are $10 each. Dads, siblings, grandparents, etc., your shirts are the exact same as the wrestler shirts. The mom's are the only ones that are different.  The pictures of the shirts are in the post from yesterday.

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!

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.
