Practice will start on Tuesday and will continue each Tuesday for 5 weeks.  The 5th week we will also practice on Wednesday.

Competitions on most weeks on Wednesday or Thursday evenings with Salem and Spanish fork and ourselves.  TBA.

Weekend tournaments will be: 1st week- Salt Lake Slam in Heber, 2nd week Clash of the Tiny Titans in Syracuse, 3rd week BeeHive Brawl in Richfield, 4th week off, 5th week Super state at the Salt Palace.

Practice times, new age groups and new coaches:

PreK and Kindergarten all together on one team with head Coach Stacey Kay.  Practicing at Memorial Hall each Tuesday at 5:30 to 6:30.

1st and 2nd graders all together on one team with Coach Chad Metcalf.  Practicing at Mapleton Jr High each Tuesday at 5:30-6:30.

3rd graders with Coach Spencer Mortimer practicing at Mapleton Jr High each Tuesday at 6:30 to 7:45.

Those who already registered and paid for phase 1 do not need to re-register for phase 2.  If you are new, you need to bring payment and a filled out registration form (downloaded from this site under “Forms, etc”) to your first practice.  You also must have a USA Wrestling card BEFORE your come to practice.

Phase two is not a babysitting session.  Phase two wrestlers are expected to compete in at least Super State in February and will be encouraged to wrestle each weekend.

All K-8th graders, the Salt Lake Slam caps at 800 wrestlers.  It is still more than a week away and there are only about 160 spots left.  About 100 kids registered yesterday.  I highly suggest not procrastinating your registration or you will not be able to compete in this event.  Register on Trackwrestling.

I signed our club up for two tables.  That means 4 adults over two days.  I am willing to pay for the entire entry fee of the wrestler who’s parents volunteer to run the table.  Plus you get a T-shirt and free entry yourself.  I have 2 volunteers already, I need six more.  First come, first serve.  You must register your wrestler and then work the two days.  Then I will pay you in cash.

This Wednesday we have a Wrestle till you drop at Mapleton Jr. High for all 4-9th graders.  This is for all club wrestlers not just JH.  Pleasant Grove, Provo, Springville are all invited.  Start time is 5:30.  I want my team there at 4:30 to warm up and set up.  No practice that day.

I make it a general practice to not promote my own kids over other kids I coach.  Sometimes that is hard.  In this case, I’m not promoting over other kids I coach, just over other kids in general.  This year at the High School All Star Duals the fans get to choose which wrestlers get to be the very last match of the night on the center mat.  This is a big event and I would love to see Grant get this honor.  To vote you can click this link:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/69Q3RVF
