Beef & Beer Planning Meeting, Tues 10/22

We’ll be having a planning meeting on Tuesday 10/22 at 7:00PM at Holy City Publick House to discuss this year’s beef & beer event (scheduled for Friday, December 6th). We’re asking for some help from our Gloucester Wrestling family. If you’re able to help out, we encourage you to attend this meeting.

If you didn’t already know, our annual beef & beer event is the largest of the season for us. We’re looking for some volunteers to help out with a few things to make sure the event is a success. If you can, come to the meeting and help us kick off the start of what’s sure to be a great season!

It’s Almost That Time Again!

The weather is getting colder, so all those fun wintertime activities are just around the corner…

Our favorite, of course, is wrestling! We’ll be starting the season two weeks earlier this year — practices will start the week of November 18th. We’ll have more specifics as we get closer, so stay tuned and keep checking back here for updates. Or, even better, click/tap the FOLLOW GCYW button to get our news updates delivered to your email inbox.

For parents who still aren’t sure whether or not their child should wrestle, I recommend reading the following two articles. They do a great job providing some clarification and first-hand insight about what to expect both as a parent and as a wrestler.

Post-Season Practices Tues and Thurs This Week

We will be having post-season practices this week for all youth wrestlers who want to attend.

For ages 10 & up, practices will be Tuesday & Thursday from 5:30-7:00PM.
For ages 9 & under, practices will be Tuesday & Thursday from 7:00-8:30PM.

As usual, these practices will be held in the auxiliary gym at the middle school. Times and dates have also been added to our calendar.

We are working to get approval to continue having these post-season practices through the end of the school year. Once we receive a response from the Board of Education, we will post an update letting everybody know when the post-season practices will resume.
