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.

Clarification Regarding Sunday’s Match

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

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…

Middle School Challenge #1 — Saturday 12/22

This Saturday will be the first SJWL Middle School Challenge. The tournament is for wrestlers in grades 6th, 7th, & 8th only.

It will be held at Kingsway Regional High School in Woolwich Township.

Check-in time is 12:00PM.
Wrestling will start at 1:00PM.

A few important notes:

  • 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.

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.
