Our next match is tomorrow morning at home with all to report no later than 8:15.  The team needs DADs and Coaches to report @ 7:00 to help set up the gym.    This should give us just enough time to be ready by the first match.  We need to be out of the gym by 1:00.  I expect us to be done with the matches by 12:15 and with everyone’s help we can make the 1:00 cut off.   This is our last home match before the Jam.  If you haven’t yet signed up, please see the registrations and return them to me, do not  mail them in.   Since this is our tournament and run by all volunteers of the program, our kids do not need to pay.

See you all tomorrow.

All of us in the Lenape Wrestling family would like to congratulate Coach Joe Robinson of Lenape High School on achieving his 100th victory as a coach last night.  This is an impressive milestone and we are are all proud of Coach.  Way to to go!!!

Parents, we will be hosting out 12th annual Lenape Jam afterall.  It is a tournament structured similar to grapevine matches.  Wrestlers are placed in a 4-man round robin and wrestle all in the group.  I will explain in further detail at tomorrow’s practice.  This tournament has always been a success and the children love it!!

See you all tomorrow.

Out next match is Home on Saturday, Jan 28th.  Roll Call is 8:15 am for a 9:00 start for all.  We will be finished wrestling by 12:30 at the latest and done with clean up by 1:00.

We cannot get into the gym on Friday night to set up so we will need volunteers to help set up the mats on Saturday morning at 7:00.  This will be tough to get done by 9:00 am, therefore, we need as many volunteers as possible.

Thanks, Anthony

I want to place a special thanks to the high school wrestlers who helped yesterday with the match.  We at Lenape Jr. want to thank Aaron A., Tommy B., Frankie U., and Connor G. for all the help.  Thanks guys!!!

The LJW team would like to thank all the parents yesterday for making our home match a success.  Volunteers are important for the league to run and our volunteers were made a big difference. The coaches from the other teams were impressed with how we ran the match and all gave us a big thumbs up.  The boys wrestled hard and showed great sportsmanship.  This makes coaching that much easier.  Practice will be at the normal time Tuesday (6:15). Next match is at Rancocass Valley on Saturday.  The times haven’t been determined yet.  I will let you know as soon as I know.

Our first host match is this weekend and parent volunteers are very important.  In preparation for the match, we will need volunteers to help set up the mats on Saturday night @ 6:00.  Sunday, we will need help running the scoring tables and then mat breakdown after.  Any help we can get assists in an efficient event (less time).  Not to worry, you will all be able to watch your child wrestle when he is up.

TIMES:  Volunteers for Saturday night @ 6:00 mat set up.   Sunday, all wrestlers to report by 8:15.  Sunday, volunteers to run scoring tables (4 tables) and gym breakdown.

I expect to be out of there before 1:00 if we get enough volunteers.
