Clarification Regarding Sunday’s Match

Leave a comment

We’ve had some questions about this Sunday’s match at the Deptford Rec Center, so this is to clarify what’s going on and what time to be there.

There will be Middle School duals matches happening at the same time as the youth tournament. The duals match lineup is as follows:

Deptford vs Collingswood
Gloucester vs Collingswood
Deptford vs Gloucester

The duals matches are scheduled to start around 8:00AM. However, since our first duals match is second in the lineup, our middle school duals team should show up for weigh-ins at 8:45AM.

The rest of the team should show up at the times we listed yesterday:

8:00AM – Tots (ages 4-6)
9:00AM – Bantams (ages 7-8)
11:00AM – Midgets (ages 9-10), Juniors (ages 11-12), Intermediates (ages 13-14)

 

2 Reminders: Practice Schedule & Clothing Order Forms

Leave a comment

First, do not forget that this year’s clothing order forms are due no later than tomorrow! So, if you haven’t handed in or emailed us your completed form, get it done now.

Second, just a quick reminder to all parents and wrestlers — when the school is closed we can’t have practice. This means there will be no practices for any age groups over the winter break. However, all of us coaches strongly suggest that wrestlers take initiative and continue to work out and practice on their own…

Equipment Returns & Donations

Leave a comment

There are quite a few wrestlers who did not return last year’s singlets, compression shirts, and/or headgear. If you still have your stuff from last year, please bring it to the first practice.

New equipment will not be issued until last year’s items are either returned or paid for.

Also, if wrestlers have their own headgear or shoes that no longer fit — and are in acceptable usable condition — we would greatly appreciate it if those items were donated to our youth program. We have some athletes with limited resources, and your donations of usable equipment help give everybody an opportunity to participate.
