SJWL Varsity Tournament Sunday 2/3

Leave a comment

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.

Registration For Upcoming Tot Tournament

Leave a comment

The SJWL annual tot tournament will be held on Sunday, February 10th at Deptford High School.

All of our tot wrestlers are eligible to participate in this tournament. If you’re not sure whether your wrestler is a “tot,” please ask one of the coaches or send us an email.

A registration form must be completed by the parents/guardians of any tot in order to participate in this event. Please click the link below to view & print the form.

Completed registration forms must be returned to coaches, or emailed back to us, no later than February 3rd (we need to submit our roster on the 5th).

One more thing… We will be covering the $20 registration fee for all of our tots. This also means that if you submit a registration form and then don’t show up, you will have to repay the organization for that fee.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask a coach or send us a message. Check back later this week and next week for more details about the event.

Middle School Challenge #2 — Sunday 1/20

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.
