Christmas Break

Due to both Christmas and New Year's landing on Wednesdays, we won't be having practice again until Wednesday, January 8, 2014. However, we will be traveling to the Salt Lake Slam on January 2-4. If you are interested in going, please sign up on track wrestling. There are official site weigh in's, so we won't be doing weigh in's from the gym. You'll be responsible to get your wrestler weighed in at one of the approved weigh in sites. The approved sites will be listed on trackwrestling.com. 

We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a 

Happy New Year!

Christmas party and Provo Classic Slideshow

As promised, here's the slideshow for the Christmas Party and the Provo Classic Tournament. We only had two wrestlers go to the tournament, Tezlin and Keegan. Keegan won all his matches and came home with 1st place! Tezlin lost his first match, and won the rest so he ended up with 3rd. Both boys did great!

Enjoy!

Practice, and this weekends Tournament

This week we will be having practice as scheduled (Wednesday at 4:30). Please remember that singlet orders are due THIS WEEK! You can drop them off at the gym, or take them directly to T&R Sports. Either way, please have them turned in by Wednesday evening so we can place the order on Thursday.

This weekend (November 23rd) we will be attending the Timpview Youth Tournament in Provo. For more information, you can view the flyer here. You will need a USA card to attend, so if you're planning on going, make sure you get your USA card purchased and get registered. Registration closes Thursday, November 21st at 6 pm, so please register early if you are planning on going. The cost is $12, and it is not a mandatory tournament.

We have been approved to host weigh in's, so we will do that after practice on Wednesday.

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!
