Message from Coach Swaney: Bear Open Season Fall Sessions & Offseason Opportunities

Greetings Wrestling Family,

I trust everyone enjoyed their summer vacations and are quickly acclimating themselves back into their school routine.

Now that school is back in session, I wanted to touch base and update the families as we prepare for the winter sports season.

Recognizing there are a number of wrestlers participating in other activities during the fall, the coaches ask for the families to please keep an eye open for emails, notifications, and updates regarding the 2014-2015 season.  We plan to make some significant changes to the program and its important the information we share and send out is not overlooked.  Attention to these preseason alerts and messages will ensure the coaching staff can hit the ground running Nov 15th, the first day of practice.

As we kick off the unofficial start of the season, the coaching staff has put together some options for fall works outs & wrestling activities.  Please see details below.

Bear Open Season (open practice sessions) will begin Monday, 9/8/14 from 5:30pm-7pm and will continue every Monday and Wednesday until November 5th. Our concentration will be split into 2 arenas; wrestling technique/individual improvement as well as weight/strength training.

Links to numerous local tournaments.
