Youth Update and Home Tournament Information
Our home youth tournament is this Friday night at the high school in Zumbrota. If your wrestler is participating (we encourage everyone to do so and entry fee is covered by the club), we need their signed registration form Monday night at practice. You can print off a form here.

As explained in practice last Monday, we are having a friendly competition by charting how many practices and tournaments each kid attends. There is a bulletin board to the immediate right when you enter the wrestling room. Before or after practice the kids can shade in a square for that practice or a tourney they attended over the previous weekend. We will be recognizing the top participants at our end of the year party.
