This Week & RINGWORM!

This week we will have practices as scheduled, Tuesday and Thursday from 5-7 pm. We have our first tournament on Saturday! It's at North Sevier. To register, please go to trackwrestling.com. You will be responsible to put in your child's weight when you sign them up. PLEASE BE HONEST!   Registration closes on Friday evening. It's always best to register early, just in case they change the deadline.

One big concern we have as wrestlers is ringworm. Our mats are disinfected before each practice, so please do your part as parents to avoid your child getting it and spreading it to other kids. Your wrestler needs to shower after every practice, and his practice clothes need to be washed (not re-worn for pj's or for the next practice). Bedding needs to be washed weekly, and you need to wash their singlets after each tournament. Headgear can be wiped down with alcohol and a cotton ball.

If your child has signs of ringworm, or any red patches of skin on their body (almost resembling eczema), that won't go away and/or seem to get bigger, please see your doctor right away. You will need some anti-fungal cream or oral medication.
