Thursday             No Practice this week – Go watch Varsity dual vs BGMR at 6pm!
Sundays               Open Practice 6pm-7pm. The format is usually a warmup and then kids will work on any takedown, turns, etc they want to work on. (this is a self-motivated practice, and horseplay is not tolerated) Make sure you have a practice partner, it’s generally a small group and includes K-12th grade. There are no coaches so younger kids especially need to have a parent help them.
 
Please make sure your child uses the restroom before practice. Please be sure your son/daughter wears his/her practice singlet or shorts & t-shirt to practice, and brings a water bottle. No sports drinks. Also, NO STREET SHOES on the mat please!  Please feel free to use the lockers inside the wrestling room during practice.
 
Stats: Email them weekly to trftakedown@gmail.com or there will be a stat book at practice as well.  Will need the location, # of matches, wins, losses, pins, and placing.  These are used for the Times Newspaper and the year-end banquet awards. This is optional.
