FULL PRACTICE SCHEDULE WEEK OF 12/30/24 – 1/2/25

*White elephant gift exchange explained* Everyone will need to bring a wrapped gift valued at no more than $10. If for whatever reason you will not be able to get a wrapped gift in time, NO WORRIES JUST TEXT JOSHUA 785-213-0412 OR HEATHER 785-844-0719 and we will make sure your child has a gift to play. WE ALWAYS BRING ENOUGH EXTRAS BUT A HEADS UP MAKES SURE WE WE ARE COVERED!

  • Little hammers – Everyone will circle up on the mat with the presents in the middle. We will have the kids draw numbers and take turns 1 by 1 in number order picking out a gift. They will all wait patiently with their gifts until all have picked and then we will open them all at once. NO STEALING/TRADITIONAL GAME PLAY WITH THE LITTLE HAMMERS.
  • Novice & Open/Elite: Both the novice group + the Open/Elite group will play by the same rules. We will circle up and put all gifts in the middle. We will draw numbers. #1 goes 1st. When it is your wrestlers turn, they can pick a wrapped present from the middle OR steal an opened present from another wrestler. Each present can be picked from the center once and then stolen up to 2 times. After that it cannot be stolen again(unless the #1 wants it at the end). If you have your present stolen, it will be your turn again to pick or steal before the next number goes. At the end, the person who drew #1 can choose ANY PRESENT THEY WANT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT WAS STOLEN. This is fun game but it can cause some extra emotion in the children(not getting toy the want, being stolen from, etc.) As much as it is fun it is also a great learning/growth experience for the kids and we will all help them get through it 🙂

**Mock Novice Tournament Explained** We do this every year to give our younger newer wrestlers a chance to run through the motions of competition in a familiar and less crowded environment than a traditional tournament. I will post a signup

Tidbits:

  • Practice packs and sublimated gear are in the mail. They come from Pakistan so it takes a while to get through customs and here but they are OTW. I will keep you updated.
  • Spirit Wear – This store remains open year round and ships directly to you. The club does not benefit from any of the sales. SPIRIT WEAR STORE
  • If you have any questions please reach out to me on discord!!
