Congrats to the PreK-2nd graders tonight!

Four quick reminders:

1) Wrestle till you drop tonight for PreK-6th graders at Salem Hills High School from 6:00 to 7:30.  Bring $1.00.

2) No car pool for PreK-2nd graders on Friday, but we do want to meet for car pool on Saturday at 7:00 AM at LaMont’s home for 3rd-9th graders.  If you have an extra seat belt, please come.

3) Weigh ins will be VERY strict on Thursday.  Time 4:00 to 7:00.  MUST be in a singlet or in briefs.  No nude weigh in.  Must make the weight exactly.  Weigh ins will close IMMEDIATELY at 7:00 PM.  So if you are .1 over at 7:00, you will not make the weight.  There will be a skin check and a fingernail check at weigh ins.  Wrestlers with long hair will need to cut their hair or wear a hair net to compete.

4) Registration for Super State closes TONIGHT at Midnight.

Club Team Picture for 4th-9th graders tomorrow Tuesday the 31st.  5:00 PM at the end of practice.  Please wear either your club shirt or your MJH shirt.

This is another huge week for Champions Wrestling Club:

Registration for superstate ends at midnight on Wednesday!  Click here for the flyer. Or click here to register directly.  If you want your name on the tournament t-shirt, you need to register by Tuesday at the latest.

Monday regular practice for all 3rd-9th graders.  All JH practice times are now over and so club/city recreation wrestlers can come at 3:00 this week and do not need to wait until 3:45.  Monday practice 3-5:15.  Tuesday the same plus PreK-2nd grade from 5:30-6:30 and 3rd grade only from 6:30 to 7:30.

Wednesday registration closes at midnight.  Regular practice from 2:15 to 4:30.  All preK-6th graders have a Wrestle Till You Drop night at Salem Hills High School ($1.00 entry) from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (so the original scheduled practice is cancelled for Wednesday for PreK-3rd graders)

Thursday regular practice from 3:00 to 5:15 for all age groups.  Weigh ins will go from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at MJH only.  (Mats will be rolled and loaded for travel at 5:15– volunteers welcome).  Because we are donating our mats to the tournament the PreK-3rd graders are welcome to our older practice that day with parent supervision.  No evening practice.

Friday competition for PreK-2nd grade.  Saturday competition for 3rd grade- 9th grade.

TEAM POINTS:  This event is the culmination of the Folkstyle Winter Season for all youth wrestlers not in high school.  Our club is the returning champions and there is only one overall trophy awarded.  I want to win this again.  Numbers are key as every wrestler can score points.  This week at the 4A/5A state, almost half of our points were scored by wrestlers who did not place.  We have many first year wrestlers score points for our team with a win or two.  The reason this tournament costs more is due to paid officials, huge awards, a big time venue with raised platform mats and professional light and sound crews.  It is a fun atmosphere for all levels of wrestlers and I would encourage every wrestler in our club to sign up for this event.

Club help:  I already have one of our two club tables covered, but I do need a few more people who are willing to help run a table to email me with their willingness.  Volunteers get free entry, get fed, and get T-shirts for their willingness to help.
