We are excited to begin our first ever wrestling clinic THIS Friday after school! Mr. Haddon has recruited two fantastic coaches, Nathan and Cristian, to help guide our young wrestlers.
Please send your child in comfortable clothing that they can roll around in! Loose sweats, leggings, or athletic pants are best. We do not require wrestling shoes, but they will be asked to remove their shoes. We will provide mouth guards that your child will be responsible for for the 6 week clinic.
Please bring payment to the school office by Friday, April 25 if you have not done so already.
Clinic Fee - $100/student
