3/4/08- Hello Mukwonago Wrestling Club Members

The top 2 place finishers from each age/weight group from each regional qualify for the state tournament. The 3rd place finisher has a remote chance to fill in empty spots, if another region had fewer then 2 qualifiers. The weight classes set as follows: example if there are 97, 100, and 103lbs brackets, this means all kids who weigh in between 97.1 and 100.0 are in the 100lb weight class.

Weigh-ins on Friday night are from 6-7:30pm and Saturday morning from 7-8am, if a wrestler checks in (picks up weigh-in cards) on Friday night he is required to weigh in Friday night. A check scale will be available to check their weight if they want to,  before they register, or  wrestler checks in Friday night. There is no re-weighing in on Saturday Morning if they weighed in Friday Night.

For the most part we discourage any weight cutting in the kids program, as most weight class are 3 or 5 lb increments, although on the heavy end can be 15lbs.  Our job is to inform, we will have a scale at practice and will check the kids weights after practice if they desire. Our goal is to make sure a wrestler/parent understand how the weight classes work.

Regional party:  As most of you know we have set a pizza Party after regionals at Wayne world (Longnecks) on Saturday March 8th in the event room. All club members can attend whether you wrestle in regionals or not. If you have not RSVP'ed not to worry, just show up if you can. Pizza and Soda will start to be served at about 6:45pm,  Adult beverages can be purchased at the bar, there is an arcade the kids can go to. But unfortunately the party" does Not involve "playing in the gym" for the kids, as all courts were already reserved.  We will have a karaoke player there and possibly have a limbo contest. 

Practice Starting March 18th Practice will be moving to 1 practice session: from 6pm to 7:30.  Kids from either session can attend, just remember the new start time.

Freestyle/Greco-Roman  Finally I highly encourage kids to try Freestyle/Greco-Roman Practice, it is open to kids born in 1999 & Older. these practice sessions start March 25th.

Thanks for all your support this year.
