2007-2008 Practice Schedule
Day/Time
Initially, practices will
follow our normal schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30pm-8:00pm, starting
November 8, 2007. However, the board of directors will be
changing the practice schedule within two weeks based on the
composition of the team. More details to follow once practice begins
on November 8.
Locations
All first-year wrestlers or any wrestler under the age of ten
will practice in the Abington Senior High wrestling room (pool
balcony level).
All wrestlers ten and over, or those with three or more years
experience, will practice in the Abington Jr. High wrestling room.
Wrestler Expectations
Wrestlers are expected to be at practice on time, fingernails
cut, and wearing the proper attire (headgear, wrestling shoes,
shorts without buttons or rivets, and a T-shirt). NO JEANS!
We expect wrestlers to pay attention and be respectful of the
coaches and their fellow team members. It is very important that
wrestlers vigorously shower with hot water and soap after
practice, AS SOON AS THEY GET HOME. Parents need to be
vigilant about making sure their children shower immediately after
practice.
Parent Expectations
Parents are expected to stay with their child(ren) for the entire
practice. If you cannot stay with your child, you must arrange for
an adult to be present at all times and you must notify a head coach
in advance. THIS IS NOT A BABYSITTING SERVICE. If we notice
that any parent repeatedly violates this rule, we will dismiss the
wrestler from the team without refund. THERE WILL BE NO
EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
Of course, there are many good reasons for you to stay (club
liabilities, potential injuries, etc.). However, the best reason is
that you will enjoy seeing your child progress throughout the
season, and your child will be encouraged by your presence and
interest in his activities.
Finally, parents are expected to remain quiet during practice so
that the wrestlers can hear the coaches. We do encourage you to meet
other parents (you'll be spending lots of time together, especially
during tournament season), but just be courteous enough to hold your
conversations in the hallways before and after practice. (That goes
for cell phone conversations as well.)
