*** DUE DATES ***

for her contact information
*** TOURNAMENT INFORMATION ***
The tournaments page has been updated for the 2009 - 2010 tournaments
that we plan to attend. There are some dates that still need to be decided and
are marked with TBD. Last year we provided all tournament information on
the calendar as well as the tournaments page. However, the company we
were using for the calendar has decided to retire their services. For the time
being we will list the tournaments on the calendar, but the forms will only be
available on the tournaments page until it is determined if we can add them to
the calendar page after switching to a new service. Directions to
tournaments can be obtained using sites such as mapquest or google maps.
For parents new to wrestling (and as reminder for all parents), please review
the tournament guidelines and tournament information links located at the top
of the tournaments page.
*****************************************************************************************************************
Please get in the habit of checking the calendar often to verify that we are having
practice on that date and also for other important dates of upcoming events. Upcoming
tournaments will be posted on the calendar page as well as the tournaments page.
A couple of important notes: Wrestling shoes should NOT be worn outside. Doing so
brings dirt into the wrestling room. In addition to being unsanitary, small stones stuck in
the shoes can damage the mat. In addition, since the shoes are not designed for outside
wear, they will prematurely wear out.
Along the same lines, we ask the everyone, including parents, to not wear shoes other
than wrestling shoes in the wrestling room. The wrestling mats are extremely expensive
and we want to take good care of them.
Finally, despite the efforts to keep the wrestling mats sanitized, it is always best for
wrestlers to take showers immediately after every practice and tournament. Also, remind
your wrestler to keep their hands away from their mouths until their hands are washed.
In the past, ELCO's Athletic Trainer, Adam Zurick, came to one of our practices to discuss
the issue of MRSA and any other wrestling related health concerns the parents may have
had. If anyone would like us to, we can ask that he come again this year.
Following are two websites that he referred us to in the past for additional information. On
both sites, enter MRSA in the search box.
