SJWL Varsity Tournament Sunday 2/3

This Sunday, February 3rd, is the annual SJWL Varsity Individual Tournament. It will be held at Riverwinds Community Center.

Weigh-ins begin at 7:30AM

All of our varsity wrestlers competing in this weekend’s tournament have already been notified during this week’s practices, so there shouldn’t be any confusion as to who’s wrestling and who’s not.

They should also already know the weight class in which they’ll be competing. But, if anybody still isn’t sure, or if there are other questions, contact a coach right away.

Middle School Challenge #2 — Sunday 1/20

This Sunday will be the second SJWL Middle School Challenge. The tournament is for wrestlers in grades 7th & 8th only (as well as any of our 6th graders who regularly wrestle in the middle school duals matches).

It will be held at Moorestown High School in the Eisenberg Gym (the smaller gym to the right).

Check-in time is 8:00AM.
Wrestling will start at 9:00AM.

A few important notes:

  • The goal is for every wrestler to get a minimum of 2 matches.
  • Wrestlers will not be separated by age. This means any 6th graders who participate could possibly be matched up against an 8th grader.
  • Results from the first Middle School Challenge will be used to try to separate wrestlers who competed against each other last time.
  • The tournament director will attempt to separate boys and girls when possible, but this entirely depends on the number of boys and girls who attend this event.

We need to know ASAP if your wrestler cannot attend. This will be a huge event with middle schoolers from the entire league, so advanced notice is essential to ensure things run smoothly.

Updated Check-In Time for Saturday 1/19

Due to the large number of wrestlers participating in Saturday’s event, the tournament director has pushed back check-in time for the second session to 1:00PM.

This means it could be a pretty long day for some of us, so be prepared for that. And in case nobody has told you lately, we really do recognize and appreciate the continued understanding and dedication from parents, siblings, grandparents, and everybody else who shows up day in and day out, weekend after weekend, all season long.

Middle School Jamboree — Saturday 1/12

This Saturday will be a Middle School Jamboree. The tournament is for wrestlers in grades 6th, 7th, & 8th only.

It will be held at Maple Shade High School.

Check-in time is 8:15AM.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • The goal is for every wrestler to get a minimum of 3 matches.
  • Wrestlers will not be separated by age. This means a 6th grader could possibly be matched up against an 8th grader.
  • The tournament director will attempt to separate boys and girls when possible, but this entirely depends on the number of boys and girls who attend this event.

HERE is the roster for this event. If your wrestler should be on this list but isn’t, or if he/she is on the list but shouldn’t be, let us know immediately.

We need to know ASAP if your wrestler cannot attend. This will be a huge event with middle schoolers from the entire league, so advanced notice is essential to ensure things run smoothly.
