- New For This Year -
In order to provide better instruction, the practice sessions will be will be separated into two groups. The Bantam Group is any wrestler with less than 1 year experience. The tentative practice schedule for this group is Monday and Thursday from 5:30pm to 7:00pm in the Middle School cafeteria.
The Novice Group is any wrestler with more than 1 year experience. The tentative practice schedule for this group is Monday, Thursday and Friday from 7:00pm to 8:30pm in the Middle School cafeteria.
Also, we will be participating in the “NEW” Northern Westchester / Putnam Youth Wrestling League. As part of this League, we will have several (approx. 6-10) matches against other local area wrestling programs. These events will last approximately two hours. Every wrestler will have the opportunity to wrestle several times. This format will help build the experience necessary to compete in the local tournaments (such as the Brewster, Ossining or Carmel Wrestling Tournaments).
As a member of the team, each wrestler will receive protective headgear, a team T-shirt, shorts, wrestling uniform and USA Wrestling Card.
