SUPER BOWL RAFFLE
The executive board of Beat the Streets, an organization that has always provided tremendous support for the Gloucester City Youth Wrestling program, is raffling off two tickets to the Super Bowl!
Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the Pennsylvania Regional Training Center (PRTC), whose “mission is to create an ecosystem for elite student-athletes to strive toward national and international success in wrestling and in life, while supporting the development of wrestling around the world.”
We’re looking to give back as much support to them as they’ve given to us. If you’re interested, or if you know somebody who would be, click the link below and buy a ticket or two. Tell your family, friends, and coworkers about this raffle, too!
One more thing – this is important – be sure to type “Gloucester Wrestling” in the Organization box and “GloucesterWrestling.com” in the box that asks where you heard about the raffle.
WELCOME BACK!
We hope everybody had a fun, safe and happy holiday vacation! Now, it’s time to get back to work! Practices resume their normal schedule starting immediately.

MATCH THIS THURSDAY 12/21 AT CARUSI MS
This coming Thursday the 21st will be a middle school match at Carusi Middle School.
We need to leave Gloucester by about 3:15pm. We need to arrange rides, so please let coaches know if you can help out.
TODAY’S LESSON
Rough start today, but it’s the growing pains that we go through each year. If we keep working hard every day, some of these matches we lose by a couple points will turn into wins, and the one sided losses will turn into competitive matches.
We have a good thing going. Our HS team won the conference last year, we have over 40 kids wrestling with us on the Middle School team, and we have a great coaching staff from HS down to the tots. Don’t get discouraged if you had a rough day today. We will get better.
For middle school, practice tomorrow through Weds. Match on Thursday. Off Friday through Monday, and Tuesday is Colls Christmas tournament. GO LIONS!!!
We will be hosting a HS Varsity Tourney on Saturday Dec 23rd and HS JV Tourney on Tuesday Dec 26th. We’ll need help with the snack stand and working the door. Any help is appreciated. If you’re willing to help for an hour or two, please let us know.
Also we’d like to have as many of our wrestlers there as possible to support the HS kids on Dec 23rd. It’ll be good for the boys to watch HS wrestling and learn more about the sport. On Dec 26th, we’ll be taking a group of our kids to the Collingswood MS tournament. It’s an early tournament, so if you can’t make it, please let us know now.
MATCH THIS SUNDAY 12/17 AT SHAWNEE HIGH SCHOOL
Sunday’s match is at Shawnee HS
8 & under is 8:15 check-in; 9 am start
9 & older is 11:15 check-in; 12 pm start
Varsity Duals team weigh-ins are 10 am (wrestling Wash Twp at 11 am and Shawnee at 12 pm). We’re still waiting on the opposing teams rosters to see how many kids will be wrestling Varsity on Sunday.
For a lot of kids, it’s their first time on the mat this season or ever, so we’d rather try and get them more competitive matches in the JV portion then throw them right into the Varsity duals if we dont have to. Bare with us, we’re working out wrestle offs for each weight, and figuring out who fits best in which session.
WEAR YOUR LONG-SLEEVED SHIRTS TO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY
All wrestlers should wear their long-sleeved uniform shirts to school on Friday 12/15. Support the team and spread the word – this Sunday is our first match of the season.
Parents, relatives, siblings, friends, and every other GCYW supporter should also wear some Gloucester Wrestling gear on Friday as well!
