Youth Wrestling Season Has Ended

Leave a comment

The youth and middle school winter wrestling season has officially ended.

I want to thank all of the parents, wrestlers, coaches, administrators, and supporters for sticking with us through an odd and volatile season. Despite having to deal with the global pandemic, constantly changing lists of ever-increasing new rules and regulations, match attendance restrictions, and all the other challenges we’ve had to overcome, we still managed to make it work.

At times, it was annoying and inconvenient, I know. Not being allowed to attend some of your child’s wrestling matches, not being allowed to watch from the stands and cheer them on, was almost painful. Having to wait outside in your vehicle in the parking lot of some other school and use your phone to watch a tiny, shaky, sometimes blurry video feed, was infuriating. Not knowing if your kid was getting a match made it even worse.

Yet, you all still came. Despite the hurdles, the confusion, and the annoying prohibitions, you continued to bring your children to practices and matches. For that, you should be commended and I thank you all for your patience, flexibility, and understanding. What a long, strange trip it’s been…

We will be in touch in the near future to arrange for collection of singlets, headgear, and/or other items that need to be returned.

We also plan on having additional, continuing practice sessions for those wrestlers who want to participate. The logistics have not been fully worked out, but I’ll keep you apprised as things progress.

Keep checking the news feed here for updates (or, even better, sign up for the automatic updates if you haven’t already). Again, thank you all for helping us to provide a season for our youth and middle school wrestlers!
