WOLVES WRESTLING (www.wolveswrestling.com)
Wolves Wrestling is
preparing for their tenth season of continued growth and success. For ages 4
to 14, Wolves Wrestling is dedicated to preparing children for life's
experiences through the sport of wrestling by promoting the values of
sportsmanship, discipline, commitment, integrity, self-esteem, physical and
mental conditioning, community service and academics. The goal at Wolves
Wrestling is to be recognized as a youth wrestling organization with the
highest quality wrestlers, parents and coaches in the state of Colorado.
PRACTICE
Practices will be held in the evenings in the wrestling room at Grandview
High School. If the school is closed for scheduled break, or bad weather,
practice will be cancelled. Practices will be on Monday’s and
Wednesday’s from 6:00-7:15 PM for Beginning and Novice
wrestlers and Tuesday’s and Friday’s from 6:00-7:30 PM for
Intermediate and Advanced. The season will begin on Tuesday,
November 6th. Intermediate and Advanced practices are by invitation

COMPETITION
Starting in January,
the Wednesday night practice becomes a competition night where Wolves
Wrestling competes against the other schools in the South Suburban
Wrestling League (SSWL). SSWL sponsors two tournaments. The Cherry Creek
Christmas Tournament and the Conference Championships. Wrestlers will be
paired as closely as possible by age group and weight. These competitions

of which Wolves Wrestling is also a member, sponsors a competitive
tournament each Sunday, starting in November and ending with the Colorado
State Youth Collegiate Wrestling Tournament in February 2008. Wrestlers are
placed in a bracket based on their age as of January 1st, 2008
and weight as of the time of tournament weigh-in. These competitions are
most suited for the Intermediate and Advanced wrestler. Some WSWL
tournaments offer Novice brackets.

mandatory parent meeting on Wednesday, November 7, 2007 at the
