Scheduling Updates ⚠

You’ve surely heard by now that as of tomorrow our district will be switching to a half-day schedule, which will remain until at least January 14th.

So, at least for the foreseeable future, Middle School practices will be from 2:15PM – 4:15PM.

Evening practices for our Youth and Tots wrestlers should remain unchanged.

Obviously, the situation is volatile so we don’t know what, when, how, or even if more changes will be coming down the line.

Pay close attention to the Remind text messages from coaches because those are easy and typically sent immediately after we receive new information. Also, new relevant information is typically shared through the news feed within 24hrs, so check back here regularly. It’s helpful if you opt to use the Follow GCYW button in the sidebar of most pages.

If you have any questions, check through the news feed here for recent updates that may contain relevant answers. Otherwise, use the general contact form or send an email to your coach and one of us will get back to you as soon as we can.
