With just three tournaments remaining on the schedule prior to the start of the State Series we've entered the part of the season where everything a wrestler has been taught should be like second nature out on the mat.
You should notice a change at practices as coaches focus more on "live" wrestling in an effort to ramp up intensity and aggressiveness in the wrestlers. At this point there should be very little instruction and "down time," and high levels of activity. All team members should come to practice ready to work.
Tournaments remaining on the schedule include:
* Minooka Little Indians Open, Jan. 26th, Minooka High School (Midget State Qualifier)
* Bears Bash, Feb. 3rd, Lemont High School
* Spartan Rumble, Palmer Arena - Danville, IL
If you want to compete in ANY of these events you MUST check with Alex or Toni Kuhel to see if spots are available.
The IKWF State Series begins on Saturday, Feb. 23rd, at Willowbrook High School. All wrestlers are welcome to compete, but you MUST PRE-REGISTER. Midget, Novice and Senior division wrestlers must declare their weight class in which they plan to compete. Ask a coach or check the IKWF web site (www.ikwf.org) for more information.
Remember to check your e-mail and the club web site for news updates and team information.
