Transcript Lakeland Wrestling 2010-2011

"You don't have to be a stud to be a good wrestler...I recruited everybody
because anybody can get to a level where they're able to compete if
they're willing to put in the time.”
-Scott Cardwell, former Oregon State wrestler and Wrestling Coach for Springfield High School in Springfield, Oregon
Important Dates:
 Thursday, November 21- hydration and body fat test after
school.
 The WIAA uses these tests to determine the lowest weight
class that your son can wrestle at HEALTHILY. The hydration
test makes sure that a wrestler has enough water in his
system and the body fat test measures his percentage of
body fat.
 Monday, November 18th – 1st day of practice
 Practices will run from 4-6. We will occasionally get done
early depending on the time of year.
Important Dates:
 December 10th – first dual.
 Our schedule can be found through the calendar on the
LUHS homepage. It is a good idea to sign-up for alerts to
changes in schedules for severe weather.
 Thursday, January 2nd - Parents’ Night
 We will be recognizing you as parents for the extra efforts
that you make to support your sons. The coaching staff and I
appreciate the sacrifices that you make transporting your
sons to and from practice, duals, and tournaments.
Other Topics:
 Equipment your son will need will include:
 t-shirt, shorts, running shoes, and wrestling shoes.
 The school will provide all other necessary equipment.
 Please make sure that your son brings his practice clothes home to
be washed on a regular basis.
 This is important to providing our wrestlers with a safe and sanitary
environment to practice.
 Please encourage your child to use proper hygiene.
 This helps to prevent the spread of any communicable diseases
such as ringworm, impetigo, staph, etc.
 They should shower before leaving every night and regularly wash
their practice clothes.
 Please help the coaching staff in reminding athletes to take care of
themselves.
Other Topics:
 We would prefer the team to ride together to and from events
especially dual meets as this improves team chemistry and team
bonding.

If it is necessary for you to take your child with you when you leave,
please sign a form with the coach before you leave.
 You may only take your son or the child for which you are legal
guardian.
 We need to encourage wrestling in this community. Wrestling is a
great opportunity for young people of all ages, but we need to get the
word out there.
 Talk to people you know and encourage them to get their child
involved with wrestling.
 We are attempting to start an AVW/MHLT middle school wrestling
program run after school at the middle school but are desperately in
need of coaches. If you know of qualified individuals with the time
please contact a member of the coaching staff.
The Lakeland wrestling coaching staff is committed
to providing a safe, challenging, and enjoyable
environment for our wrestling team. We look
forward to getting to know you all and to enjoying
the success and growth of your sons as a part of the
Lakeland wrestling program.
