Well mother nature isn't a wrestling fan :-( We will miss again tonight and wrap up Thursday with our annual pizza party. We also will have open mats so please wear your gear.
If it were up to coach Craig and I we would just have practice on another night, although we are at the mercy of WH and the facilities department who were nice enough to allow us to use the school on Tues and Thursdays. This is a reason we are considering moving our program to the Dungeon next Fall where the mats are open six days a week. Those that attended last week were worked hard but I am sure learned a lot. Coach Russ Lindsey a WH grad from the original program in the 1970's has a great facility and a great method.
Few notes: Sectionals were last weekend so sadly we missed it.
Pembroke year end is Feb 17th and we can discuss Thursday.
See you all for some Pizza !

I guess we can't catch a break with mother nature this year. We will be back in the swing of things on Thursday 02/05 although practice will be held at The Dungeon located 285 Circuit Street in Hanover Ma ( Hanson town line ) please arrive at 5:45 head in and gear up. I hope to see all our kids..
Russ Lindsey from the Dungeon will be running practice and the WH coaches will assist. This will be a great experience and an introduction to club if you consider signing your child up after the season. We will be meeting with Russ after the season to see if we can work some things out for next season.
Next week is our last week of the season with practice at WH on Tuesday and then finishing up on the 12th with Pizza and open mats.

We had another great practice yesterday the kids for the most part are picking things up. It's a lot to learn and with short attention spans it can be a challenge as you all witness :-)

I am very pleased with the last two practices and happy to now get some momentum after the lengthy holidays. Tuesday our friends in Pembroke came in having a fun with some new kids. Thursday we really focused on hand and head control with a great showing from our dedicated volunteer dads. I hope this continues.
Tuesday and Thursday we have normal practice and we will be focusing on the cradle another pinning move. Wednesday we have an optional at CBC in Raynham. I only have four or five kids so far attending so if you are still interested please speak up Tuesday. We will be meeting in the front of the school at 5:00 PM.
Next Sunday is the Hanover Tourney and if you haven't signed up and plan on doing so please do before the 15th and send me an email so I can add to our list. Not to jinx us but if the Pats get past the Ravens the game will be later in the day, and the kids will be long done.

Tomorrow night do your best to show up at 5:45 having your children gearing up to be on the mats at 6:00 PM sharp. We have our cross town friends Pembroke coming in for practice and shark bait. They will be bringing 40 plus kids so it will be a bit loud and crazy. This will be no different than a regular practice just some new faces and blue and gray shirts to wrestle with.
Thursday 1/8 is a normal practice.
Tuesday 1/13 normal practice
Wednesday 1/14 we have an "optional" practice scrimmage at CBC in Raynham at the dog tracks. This starts at 5:45 so coach Craig and I are thinking we take a few cars and carpool. I can take six kids Craig can take eight so if any other parents have a caravan that would be great. We can meet at 5:00 PM leave from WH and plan on being back by 8:00 PM. I will need numbers on this so please email me so I have an idea.
Lastly if you want to sign your son or daughter up for Hanover Tourney 1/18 I would do so soon. We have competed in this before and it's well run. It's a real bracketed tourney with real 1-1-1 matches. It is although intense but fun and safe. They do there best to keep the same skill level in the same bracket but this isn't a perfect science as we have learned over the last few years. After you click the link below it will say timed out so enter the home page again and register. Look for D-1 D-2 etc click grade and then under criteria I would pick either first year and more than two years.
Questions just email me.

Monday, December 8, 2014
The first week is over and I am proud of our kids and grateful for our coaches. A big thanks to coach Craig and Joel and the new ones that have stepped up helping out for the love of the sport. I am also excited that coach Gary has continued stick around after the high school practice to share his vast knowledge. Look for other WH alum to pop in from time to time to help out.
Last week we worked on our stance, penetration, then explained how both of these set up the single and double legs. This week we will be working on bottom wrestling position, breakdowns, and escapes. Then on to pinning combinations. The kids have so much energy so we will be continuing to have live shark bait and pride.
Few notes.
Please always remember water it vital.
Head gear not mandatory for practice but shoes are so please make sure you get you child a pair. Sneakers are not allowed on the mat.
Parents remember cleanliness is vital making sure the kids have trimmed nails and ALWAYS bath or shower as soon as the get home.
This Saturday at 5:00 PM is a Take Down Tourney at Pembroke High School run by Brian Conrad from CBC Wrestling club. We normally attend this although it usually isn't in the evening, so I know that Coach Craig and I won't be able to attend. If anyone wants to attend you will have to supervise your child so please email me and I will send you the info. We will have plenty of scrimmages and live wrestling come January so if we this it's ok.
We should have our t-shirts in this week the kids will be excited.
Next week I am going to be out of town on business so coach Craig and Gary will be running the ship. I still can be reached by email though with questions and concerns.
Please come and support the High School Team the season begins this Saturday at Oliver Ames and the first home meet is Wed 12/17 against Duxbury.
Christmas week and New Years week obviously there will be no Thursday practices but I am planning on having practice Tuesdays hopefully in the gymnasium. More info to come.
Those that have Comcast please keep an eye out for a new episode of "Mat time with Mark" I started hosting a sit down talk show last year to help bring some fun and exposure to WH Wrestling. This weeks guests are third year wresters Jason (JJ) Raposa and my son Max Chauppetta. If you child would like to be a guest send me an email and I will do my best to have them on.
Past shows can be found on the AMAZING web site designed and maintained by WH Alum Matt Quimby. Check it out weekly for constant updates www.whwrestling.com

Just a few reminders before practice tomorrow night.
Please always remember to have water for your child we take several break to re hydrate. If your child is sick it is best to keep them home as much as they may not want to because we are a contact sport.
Practice is held in the cafeteria NOT the gym. Upon entering take your first left after the gym then a right down the hall you will see the cafeteria on the left.
For those that didn't see or get my message the other day please see below.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
It's that time again for the first night of our W-H Youth wrestling program Tuesday December 2nd 2014. Practices will be every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM through February of 2015.
Please arrive at 5:50 PM and have your child put on their wrestling shoes and headgear. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that the High School Kids are finishing up practice so they MUST stay put until instructed to take the mat.
Parents you are encouraged to stay and watch practice at the assigned tables but I CAN"T STRESS HOW IMPORTANT it is that we ARE NOT A DAY CARE so if you bring your other children they MUST sit still and be quite. NO running around will be tolerated.
We have about 55 kids participating from K - 8th grade many who have short attention spans so getting them to focus is a priority :-) This also our first year merging all the kids so we plan on splitting the mats with the smaller kids being separated from the bigger kids to avoid injury. We run a tight ship and will emphasizing skill, development, and most importantly FUN !
We will teach technique - sportsmanship and will incorporate live wrestling throughout practice.
We will be scheduling dual tournaments during the season and we will also have year end tourneys.
Remember that what your child puts in is what he will get out of this program.
Remember to check the amazing web site that Alum Matt Quimby has put together www.whwrestling.com for continued updates and bios on all the coaches. If you have any question about us please just pull us aside we have an open door policy.
Lastly this is all about fun so we will see you all Tuesday.
