Issue #2
Panther Youth Wrestling Newsletter – Issue #2
The kids continued to work hard during our 2nd week of practice. For the experienced group, we worked on takedowns, breakdowns, escapes and started work on the Switch as well as the Cradle series. The new group continued worked on fundamentals of wrestling, started on escapes, breakdowns and the use of hand control from top, bottom and neutral. Each group had at least one live match per practice and we finished with takedown trees. The coaches were again pleased with the effort from the group.
Practice Schedule – This Week
Tuesday night, 6:00 – 7:30 pm. There will be no practice on Thursday due to the 5th – 6th Grade play.
Apparel Orders
Coach Mike Green is working on a new vendor to provide our apparel. The company we are looking at most closely is in Bloomington and has a web-based ordering system. However, as our organization isn’t quite large enough, we will again order using forms. Please watch this section for more information next week, or by seperate email updates.
Picture Night/Handing Out of Singlets
Coach Scott Upton is working on securing a photographer and date. We generally have picture night in place of practice prior to our first tournament. So look for an update in this section next week.
Singlets will also be handed out prior to picture night. I ordered several new XS sizes. The front logos have been put on and now we are having the Jack and Duncan ribbons placed on the back. When those are ready, we will hand out. Most of the kids were weighed during signup. However, you will not know if the uniform fits well until your child tries it on. If you have concerns, I will check at picture night and changes sizes where necessary.
