Good Luck!

Good Luck to Keegan, Cody and Tezlin who will be traveling to the Caleb Williams tournament tomorrow, and Jerrit who will be at North Sevier! We will post results and pictures on Monday!

Caleb Williams Weigh Ins

We will be doing site weigh ins at the gym during practice tomorrow. So if you want to go to Caleb Williams this weekend, get signed up and we will weigh you in tomorrow!

Singlet Orders

Please bring any singlets/shoes/gear you would like to sell to practice on Wednesday. We will have some different size singlets to try on (if you are buying new), and then you can see if anyone wants to purchase your wrestlers outgrown gear.

This Week...

This week, we will be having practice as scheduled (Wednesday at 4:30 pm).

We will be attending the Caleb Williams Memorial Tournament on Saturday. If you are interested in going, please register here. This link will take you to the Track Wrestling website. From the home page on Track Wrestling, click on the "Browse" tab. From there, you will click on the "Tournaments" link (it's over in the left column). After you get to the list of tournaments, click on "search". Find the "state held in" dropdown and click on Utah. Caleb Williams should be your first option.  You will need a USA card to sign up, so if you haven't purchased one yet, you can do that here.

If you are going to Caleb Williams, check back throughout the week to find out about weigh in's. We are going to see if they will let us weigh in at the gym, but if not, we will list the weigh-in sites for you to go to.

Also, please let a coach know if you will be going. That way, we know who to look for while we are there.

And, just a reminder... We need all singlet orders in NEXT WEEK (Nov.20th). We will have extra order forms at practice on Wednesday for anyone who might need one.

Practice, Singlets and Tournament Info

Yesterday was our first practice and our team looks AMAZING! We have a great group of kids this year and it's going to be an awesome season!

Please remember to get your orders in for the team singlet. We are going to extend the deadline by a week. All order forms and money need to be turned in by the end of practice on November 20th.

A couple parents have been confused on what size of singlet to order their wrestler. The brand is Brute. So if you've had a Brute singlet in the past, you should be safe basing your wrestlers current size on how their old singlet fit. I'm not sure if this will help or not, but a youth large fits a wrestler that weighs around 60-65 or 70 pounds. If you've misplaced your order form, there are extras at the gym.  We will try and have a couple different sizes of singlets for the boys to try on next week at practice.

If you weren't able to attend the parent meeting, please get with one of the coaches to get a copy of the handout. Every wrestling parent is required to sign the contract before their child is allowed to wrestle with our team.

Next weekend (November 16th) is the Caleb Williams Memorial Tournament at Maple Mountain High School in Spanish Fork. This is NOT a mandatory tournament. However, if you are planning on going, please let one of the coaches know. You will need a USA card to attend. You can purchase that here. If you would like to view the flyer for the tournament, click here.

Just a note... Some of the bigger tournaments (Salt Lake Slam, Super State) require you to have a coaches pass if you expect to be down on the floor with your wrestler. If you are a coach or a coaching parent and want to be able to do that, you have to get yourself a USA Coaches Card. Doing this requires a background check, which can take some time (usually a couple days but can take a couple weeks). If you are planning on attending those bigger tournaments (and want to be down on the floor), you probably need to get that process started soon.

Practice

It's finally time to start Wrestling Season! Our first practice will be THIS WEDNESDAY (November 6th) at 4:30 pm. Please be at the gym on time and ready to wrestle!

Don't forget to get your order forms ready. They are due next practice (November 13th). We will have extras on Wednesday for those who may have lost the ones we handed out at the parent meeting.

The coaches are excited and ready for a great season! See you on Wednesday!

Practice, Uniforms and Fundraiser

This is just a reminder that practices will begin next week, on November 6th.

If you haven't had time to get your wrestling gear order form completed, you have until November 13th. We will have extra forms at practice next week, just in case you need another one.

Are you interested in the team fundraiser? Amy Anderson is putting that together, so please contact her. All of Amy's contact information is in the post below.

We hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween! We'll see you all next week!

Pizza Fundraiser Idea

I am going to do a Papa Murphy's fundraiser if anyone is interested. You will get $4.00 for each family 16 in. pizza and $1.00 for each add on item (cheese bread, cookie dough, or cinnamon wheel) you sell.

Below are the price list/info and an order sheet for you to collect orders on.

Please have all orders collected with exact money by Nov 6th. I would like to have only cash turned into me. You can accept checks but please cash them before turning it in. I will only order the pizzas for which I have collected cash money.I will pick up the pizzas and bring them to practice on Nov 13th with the money each boy earned.

Thanks! Call me if you have any questions. Amy Anderson 435-979-8233 or joeyamyus@yahoo.com

Wrestling singlet order form

For those who didn't get an order form for wrestling gear, here's a copy. You should be able to click on the picture, right click, and choose "print". If you can't get it to work, Cody has more copies at the gym. If you would like one emailed to you, email Shanelle at swinn1@farmersagent.com.

Please try to have your order ready to go by the second week of practice (November 13th). They said it takes 3-4 weeks to get everything back, so we need to get the order put in by the end of November (at the latest) in order to get it back in time for tournaments.

At the parent meeting, someone suggested an "exchange" so we can all have the option of buying gently used singlets from wrestlers who may need a larger size this year. It's a great idea, but getting everyone together might be hard... So, if you want to sell your outgrown wrestling gear to another wrestler, you can let one of the coaches know (or email Shanelle) and we can advertise it on here. We will need to know what item(s) you are selling, the size, condition, and asking price.

We can do the same for parents looking to purchase gear. Just let us know what item you are looking for (and the size) and we'll post it here on the website.

2013 Wrestling Season

It's time to start wrestling again!

There will be a mandatory parent meeting at the gym on Wednesday, October 9th, at 7:30 pm. We will go over the rules and guidelines for the upcoming wrestling season, practice schedule, and answering any questions parents might have.

Please be to the meeting if you are planning on wrestling with Team Takedown, and we ask that you leave your wrestlers and other children at home. This meeting is for parents only.

Thank You!

Reminder...

This is just a reminder that we are now done for the season. Please check back periodically for information on the summer party and registration.

State Wrestling Update

Weigh in's for State will be on Friday at Triple C Arena in Panguitch. They will be from 5-7 pm. Please note that registration for State will close on Friday at 3 pm.  To avoid any possible issues, it would be best to register early. Don't put it off until Friday!

If you can't make it to weigh in's on Friday in Panguitch, North Sevier will be having them  from 5-7 pm on Thursday (during their practice). I'm assuming that means they will be having them in their wrestling room at the high school. 

Wrestling on Saturday will begin at 9 am for grades PreK-3rd. 4-8th grade will begin at Noon. They are going to have both 4 and 8 man brackets, with medals for 1-4th place.

We will be having practice on Tuesday at 5:00 pm. If you are going to State, please be at practice. We need to know who is going!

If you can't be at practice, but are going to State, please let Cody know.

State Wrestling

The registration for State is now open. Please go to Track Wrestling and sign up as soon as possible. When you get to the Track home page, you can click on the "search" button. When the box of search options pops up, change the state to "Utah" and click "search". Scroll down and click on "South/Central Utah Little League State".

If you are going to state, please don't miss practice on Tuesday (April 2nd) at 5:00 pm. Remember, we won't be having practice on Friday (the day before state), because the coaches will all be in Panguitch. If you are planning on staying over, you need to reserve a room SOON!  I'm sure everything will fill up before next weekend, since Panguitch is such a small town.

I'm not sure how weigh in's will work. If we can do them at the gym, we will. As soon as we find out our options, I'll let everyone know.

Don't forget to email pictures (if you have them) from the Gunnison tournament for the slideshow! Please email them to swinn1@farmersagent.com by Sunday night so I can have the pictures up Monday morning.

Practice Reminder

This is just a quick reminder that we will not be having practice this week, since it's spring break. We will have practice on Tuesday, April 2nd at 5 pm. This will be the last practice before State. We will not be having practice the day before State, since most of the team will already be in Panguitch on Friday night. So please try and be to the Tuesday practice. 

If you are going to State, and plan on staying over the night before, please make your reservation SOON! The rooms are filling up, and there aren't vary many hotel options to begin with.

They still haven't opened the registration on TrackWrestling, we'll let you know when you can sign up.

North Sanpete Slideshow and MVP's!

The North Sanpete MVP's were: Jerrit, Glen, Damon, Jace and Kent.  
Great Job!

Here's the slideshow from the tournament. Thanks to the parents and spectators that submitted the pictures. If you have pictures from the Gunnison tournament, please email them to swinn1@farmersagent.com by Thursday evening. Enjoy!

No practice next week!

We will NOT be having wrestling practice next week due to Spring Break! 

We will start back up on Tuesday, April 2nd. Don't forget to book your motel rooms for State. It's April 6th in Panguitch. There aren't a lot of motels in the area, so please book early. 

They haven't opened registration on TrackWrestling for state yet, but we'll let you know when they do so you can get signed up. As of right now, we're not sure whether or not we can weigh in at the gym or if you will need to go to a designated weigh in site. We will let you know as soon as we find out.  

Check back in a couple days for the MVP's and pictures from North Sanpete! We are just waiting for all the pictures to come in so we can put together a slideshow. If you have pictures you would like on the slideshow, please email them by Sunday night  to swinn1@farmersagent.com.
