We need you!

Parents, please be sure to read and respond to Denise's (team parent info) letter that your wrestler brought home to you. It is linked (right of screen) for your convenience.

Also linked is the practice schedule for January. Please be sure your wrestler stays active on non-practice days. During the winter break, some practices will be at the High School. Please drop-off and pick-up your wrestler at the south-west entrance (by the football concession stand).

For those of you that want to order more team shirts, you may call LogoWorks at 942-4700.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Coach Petersen

Welcome to CCMS Wrestling

Welcome to CCMS' 2010-2011 wrestling season. Coach Petersen and Coach Hitchcock look forward to working with your son. The CCMS wrestling program is a great place for kids to get introduced to the sport of wrestling, and/or continue with the sport in a fun but challenging environment.

The coaches place great emphasis on academics and will work with your son to bring up his grades if needed. Grades come first with the program and therefore many CCMS wrestlers see improvement in their grades as the season progresses.

In addition to better grades, benefits to wrestling include:

• Developing Strength, Balance, Flexibility, Endurance, and Confidence.
• Making life-long friends.
• Having fun.
• Being active during the winter.

Practices begin Monday, November 29th, 2010. A practice schedule is linked to this site as well as being sent home with your wrestler. Most practices will take place in the CCMS small gym right after school (on normal dismissal days) and end at 5:30 p.m. Please pick up your wrestler on time at the MS gym doorways on the south side of the building.

If you have further questions, please visit the links on this page. If your questions aren't answered by visiting the links, please feel free to contact one of the coaches at the phone number and/or email address below.

Thank you and we look forward to a successful season with your child.
