Elem. Duals Wrestlers and Parents,

 

Hello everyone.  I am writing to let everyone know of an additional opportunity for the elem. duals wrestlers to get some extra training in.  Greg Whitecomb and I will be running extra training sessions throughout the season.  The sessions will be 1 hour in length and will be directly after normal scheduled practices (5:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. @CYMS).  The sessions will focus more on live wrestling, hard drilling and strength training.   I will be posting as sign up sheet in the wrestling room.  I would like the wrestlers to sign up with a partner close to their own size and ability, if at all possible.  Wrestlers will be responsible to arrange for transportation home.  I will try and stay one week ahead with the sign up sheet and an email outlining which days we will be having the extra sessions.  Make sure all wrestlers attending open mat have a partner.

 

This week we had the extra session on Wed. and we had 7 wrestlers attend.  I would like to double this next week.  We had a great work out.  The session went as follows:

 

1.      Live hand fighting with focus on set-ups and lateral motion on the feet

2.      Hard drill of inside and outside single legs, where the first wrestler hit the takedown and the partner immediately exploded for an escape and into his takedown.

3.      Defending with face and hands and reshot off of an opponents shot

4.      Live goes out of Front-Head Lock Situation

5.      One Live Match

6.      Greg put the guys through a great 20 minute Kettle Bell work out with numerous exercises that are wrestling related and focused on increasing core strength.

7.      Reading material was handed out on how to break your opponents during practices and matches.

 

If we can get one or two of these sessions in per week I know it will help make a difference in the wrestler's performance.   Next week I can only do one session because of my work schedule.  The session will be on Wednesday night.  The session will include the following:

 

Wednesday 12/16/09

 

1.      More hand fighting drills

2.      Drilling takedowns (a little bit more of a variety)

3.      Live Front Head Lock situation

4.      Live Finish Single leg situations

5.      1 or 2 live matches

6.      Strength and Conditioning Training (20-30 minutes)

7.      Reading Material on a mental aspect of wrestling will be handed out.

 

Thanks and we hope to see you there!

As per the high school Athletic Director, Marty Trimmer, the high school wrestling room will be closed temporarily.  This is due to two of our high school wrestlers contracting impetigo which is a skin infection.  The concern is that our wrestling season just started and our room is being mopped two to three times per day, so the athletic director wants to get to the bottom of what exactly was the cause.  During this time we will be relocating practice to the junior high facility, away from the high school wrestlers until the matter is resolved.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we have been assured that the move is only temporary.  This change will take effect this Thursday night for our first practice after the break.  However, the junior high facility is slightly smaller than the high school, so we will start this Thursday with the second (later) group of wrestlers ONLY, so that the coaching staff can get the feel of how the room will need laid out to accomodate the 50 or so younger wrestlers in the first session.  So to recap; this Thursday night the second group will practice at our normal time from 7pm - 8:30pm and our younger group will have off.  Monday, December 7, our younger group will start at the junior high at 6pm - 7pm as normal.  The junior high is located at the top of North Hills Rd., to the left.  The wrestling room is around the back of the building, in the north west corner and the rear doors lead right to it. 
The address is:
1950 North Hills Rd.
York, Pa 17402
The key to preventing it is proper hygiene. Please read below or feel free to google it!
Hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving and don't forget to check out our website which is updated constantly with wrestling and tournament news!
I will keep everyone posted as to when we may move back to the high school facility!
Impetigo, a contagious skin infection that usually produces blisters or sores on the face, neck, hands, and diaper area is one of the most common skin infections among kids.

It is generally caused by one of two bacteria: staphylococcus aureus or group A streptococcus. Impetigo usually affects preschool and school-age children. A child may be more likely to develop impetigo if the skin has already been irritated by other skin problems, such as eczema, poison ivy, and insect bites.

Good hygiene can help prevent impetigo, which often develops when there is a sore or a rash that has been scratched repetitively (for example, poison ivy can get infected and turn into impetigo). Impetigo is typically treated with either an antibiotic cream or medication taken by mouth.
