Youth wrestling activities for this week are below.

• Open Mat: Monday, December 16th from 6:00-7:00 PM in the Mazeppa wrestling room.  Any wrestler looking for a little extra mat time is welcome to attend.  This is a great opportunity to get some individual instruction.  Don’t be afraid to approach a coach.  They are there to help!
• Tournament: Goodhue on Saturday, December 21st.  Details here. We will not be taking a bus, but let’s see if we can get 20 Cougars wrestling on Saturday!

2013 summer 5002 calendar

I’ve attached a ‘5002 calendar’ for those who want to try 5002 for next season.

5002 night Itinerary:
-please have your 5002 wrestler wear a ZM wrestling t-shirt
-have them there by 6:00pm
-6:30-6:45 we will meet by the south wall (by concessions) I will explain what we are to do
-6:45ish I will walk the 2013 5002 club members onto mat, introduce what 5002 is, then introduce them!
-I will also present the boys with their new ‘5002 shirts’ in which they will put on at this time

This is one of my favorite nights of the year! Please pump your little up for it…they’ve earned it!

Our youth wrestlers have the opportunity to scrimmage during two home Varsity/JV meets in Mazeppa this December.  Preliminary details are below.  Please e-mail youthcoordinator@zmwrestling.com if your wrestler(s) would like to participate.  If your wrestler did not get weighed on registration night, please include their weight in the e-mail so we can pair them with other wrestlers accordingly.  We’ll need parent volunteers for referees and table workers.  Please let us know if you can help!

Dates:
Friday, December 6th vs. Cannon Falls
Friday, December 13th vs. KW & PI

Wrestlers should arrive at 5:15.  Start scrimmages at 5:30.  We should be done no later than 7.  Scrimmages will be held in the new wrestling room.

The first scrimmage is also 5002 club night.  We’ll make sure to be done by the time those wrestlers get introduced to the crowd.

Registration for Pre-K through 6th grade wrestlers is Monday, November 11th at 6:30 PM in the Mazeppa gym.  The registration form is available here.

At the meeting, we’ll walk through:

• Coaching and program philosophy
• Practice, open mat, scrimmage, and tournament schedules
• Opportunity to order singlets and warm ups (not a must)
• New web site
• Kwik Trip family accounts (earn money to cover wrestling expenses!)

And we’ll serve cookies and juice so parents, wrestlers, and coaches can get to know each
other.  See you tomorrow!

We had 26 pre-k through 5th grade wrestlers show up to give wrestling a try last night! Our new wrestling room served perfectly to host this event! The parents were able to stand/sit behind the wall while coaches and wrestlers wrestled on the mats! It was a great night for ZM wrestling!

Thank you to the following for their help last evening:
Josie Bannitt
Justin Lowrie
Chris Lexvold
