Parents,
I want to clarify our practice options that are available.
Here is our practice schedule:
1) Our traditional youth wrestling practice is 2 days a week and practice is Monday and Thursday. If you paid for the 2 day option and If your son has wrestled less than 3 years they need to attend the Monday and Thursday youth practice.
2) Our 6:00 Tuesday, 6:00 Wednesday and 2:30 Sunday practices are for advanced wrestlers only. They must have a minimum of 3 years of experience or have placed 1-4 in the state tournament to attend these practices.
3) The 3:30 Wednesday open practice time needs to be scheduled with Christian in advance and is open to anyone.
If your son is a first or second year wrestler we believe that 2 days a week is the appropriate amount of practice. Our desire is to keep it fun and let them learn the basics. We do not want to burnout our beginner wrestlers. After the second year of wrestling most kids will have the basics of wrestling and have developed the mental toughness to take wrestling to the next level. Our goal is to develop wrestlers with a long term focus so our wrestlers have successful middle school and high school wrestling careers.
So you can judge for yourself here are some minimal expectations we expect from our advance wrestlers.
1) A master of the basics of wrestling
2) Mental toughness
3) Positive attitude
4) Is your son getting 100% out of the current practice. This means your son is giving 100% all the time.
5) Practice attendance
6) Tournament participation and placement in regular tournaments(non-beginner tournaments)
As a reminder wrestling is a individual sport and your son’s willingness to work hard in practice has direct correlation on how quickly he advances. He must be willing to work hard, have intensity and develop mentally. Please communicate with your son the importance of working hard in practice.
If you would like to discuss please come speak with me at practice.
David
