Listed below are some FYI items:
NEW this year **Headgear is now mandatory for the league***
Please sign your wrestler in and if you are not able to stay at practice, be sure we have a number to reach you in case we need to.
Once practice has started and registration is complete, we will have an informative Parents meeting.
If you would like to bring a chair to sit on during practice, feel free. For wrestler’s safety and health concerns, along with insuring the best instruction for your child, the coaching staff does not permit parents in the wrestling room during practices.
We are working hard this year to keep the mats as clean as possible. They are mopped before each practice. If anyone can come early/stay after to help in this. It would be appreciated.
If you have an open sore, please be sure to put a secured bandage on it before practice. Prevention, prevention, prevention!
ALWAYS take a hot, soapy shower right after practice.....always.
If you have outgrown wrestling shoes, singlets and/or head gear that you would like to put into the recycled box, I will bring it to the first practice on Nov. 10th.
Ideally it would be best not to wear your wrestling shoes to practice, rather wear your street sneakers and change into them so as to bring less to the mats.
Please bring a sports bag to practice to put your coat, street shoes etc. into when it gets colder. Otherwise it may get trampled, lost or tossed about.
You may want to bring your own water bottle; the water fountain lines can be long when you are very thirsty. Just please remember to take home what you bring.
Picture day will be scheduled after registration is complete and singlets are ordered. You will have your singlet to wear by then.
OWBC Committee Meetings are usually held in the MS library. Everyone is welcome to attend. Meeting times/place will be posted. Everyone wants Octorara wrestling to be all it can be. Come out and have a voice.
If anyone has ability or interest in posting Booster information on our website, please see me. We do have an existing website.
Finally, at our last booster meeting it was decided to have a poinsettia fundraiser over J Corbis that all wrestling levels will participate in. More information about this will follow soon.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email any of the coaches or myself. Looking forward to a great wrestling season 2009-2010. See you November 10th at 6:30!
