We have a busy week this week, practice, pictures, dual and 2 tournaments this weekend.

Tomorrow or Tuesday night, we have practice as usual but between the 2 practices we will have team and individual pictures. This will be around 6:50pm. Please be sure to dress your wrestler in their purple shirt and black shorts and also have them wear their singlets for individual pictures. Coaches, be sure to wear your purple coaches shirts. I will have the order forms available at the beginning of the early practice.

Wednesday we have our SSWL dual night again at DC but this time we will be allowed to hold the matches in the main gym! This will be a great experience for the wrestlers! Please be there and ready to wrestle before 5:30pm. This is a little earlier than normal but we need to weigh and collect payment for the wrestlers that will be wrestling in the Saturday tournament.

On Thursday, our High School team will wrestle their final dual meet of the season against Chaparral HS. I would like for as many wrestlers and their families to show up and support them. This a great opportunity for our wrestlers to see what it is like as they get older in this great sport. Be sure that they wear their purple shirts (again).

We will then have practice as usual on Friday and then 2 tournaments this weekend.

On Saturday we will wrestle at the Castle View PPWL tournament. This a typical PPWL format, with wrestling for 4, 8 and 12 and under wrestlers starting at 9:00am and 6, 10 and 14 and under starting at noon. I would like to have as many Huskies entered as possible, be sure to send your wrestlers with checks early on wednesday before the dual night at 5:30pm.

On Sunday we have our third SSWL tournament at Columbine HS. Session 1 will be for 8U, 12U and 14U. Check in will from 9:30am to 10:30 with wrestling starting at 10:30 sharp. Session 2 will be for 6U and 10U with check in from 12:00 to 12:30pm and wrestling starting at 12:30 sharp. Please refer to the following link for more info- http://www.sswl.org/

This coming weekend we have a chance to treat the wrestlers to a fun tournament where they get to bond as a team. I would like to take as many wrestlers to Fort Morgan as possible. There are hotels available and we are trying to get everyone to stay in the Days Inn. Go to Hotels.com to get the best rate, $68 prepay only. It is a nice hotel and has a pool for the wrestlers to enjoy the night before. The club will by pizzas for the wrestlers and there families. Please send your wrestler to practice on Wednesday with a check if you are going to wrestle.

There is also a tournament in Pueblo which is also a PPWL tournament, let me know if you want to go there instead.

Please give me some sort of feedback as soon as you can if you plan on going to Fort Morgan!

Hope everyone is having a great Holiday break!

We will be back to practice tomorrow night as usual from 600 to 700 for newer and younger wrestlers and 700 to 830 for older and advanced wrestlers and Friday night from 630 to 730.

There are 2 options for tournaments this weekend, one PPWL tournament in Laramie, WY and a PPWL tournament in Colorado Springs at Cheyenne Mountain Junior High. I can register wrestlers for either tournament but I am not sure there will be coaches available in Laramie. Please send your wrestler with a check for $18 if they have already wrestled in a tournament.

Please look at the website, I have updated the calendar with the remaining PPWL and SSWL events through the middle of March. The weekend of Jan. 12 we have an opportunity to take a trip to Fort Morgan and support a great youth wrestling program and wrestle in the Snakebite Challenge. This is a typical PPWL tournament but with the chance to travel as a team and stay in a hotel. I will gather some info about the hotel we stayed in last year and get that to you. We can have a great time and the wrestlers can hit the pool Friday night.

I have also added the SSWL duals that will be happening during the week starting 1/16. These are a great opprtunity to get some more valuable mat time in a competitive environment.

Again, please take a look at the website calendar and feelfree to email or call with any questions,

Paul

This last weekend we had several wrestlers cancel on Friday for the Saturday Tournament. I understand that there is a lot of things that can happen; sickness, school issues, scheduling conflicts, etc. but these late cancellations are not refunded. These will count as your free tournament if it is your first tournament. I weigh the wrestlers on Wednesday night and then register them on Thursday night usually around 8:00pm. I will send out an email shortly after with the list of wrestlers that I have entered. Please make a point to review the list to be sure that your wrestler is or is not registered and look at the weight, age and ability as well. If something is not right, please respond or call as soon as you can. Also, please send a check with your wrestler on Wednesday if you have already wrestled in a PPWL tournament. Remember that the club will pay for 2 tournaments, 1 this year and one after the new year.Unless you have made prior arrangements, I will not register a wrestler who has not paid $18 for that weekends tournament.

This up and coming weekend, we have 2 tournaments. The first is the PPWL JR. Eagles Clash at Broomfield HS on Saturday and the SSWL Valor HS Tournament.

The PPWL tourny is from 900 to 300 on Saturday, please click on the following link for more info: http://www.pikespeakwrestling.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=135293
I will register the wrestlers for this tourny on Thursday night and need to collect $18 per wrestler on wednesday when we weighin unless this is your first PPWL then it will be free.

On Sunday we will be wrestling in the Valor Tournament which is a SSWL Tourny. Please be sure to scroll down for more information about the tourny. This format is slightly different than then last tourny @ Arapahoe. I will register the wrestlers for this as well but do not collect for this tournament.

If you have not received any of your gear such as bag, shirt or shorts let me know, I will have these tomorrow night and can give them out.

Thanks for your time,
