As we rapidly approach the first weekend of tournaments, there are some dates and deadlines everybody should be aware of.

These are the signups that are due this week. If you are not sure if the level of competition at a particular tournament is appropriate for your son, please ask a coach prior to signing up. We will continue to try to provide as much guidance as possible on tournament selection.
Please make sure everybody has Sunday, 12/13 marked on their calendar as the day of our annual Hononegah Kids Classic tournament. We have handed out letters to wrestlers explaining what help we need from parents, as well as what your son is being asked to donate. Every wrestler is asked to donate something to the concession stand. Please refer to your letter to find out specifically what you are being asked to donate. If you have not received a letter, please let John Fenicle or a coach know at practice.
Also, all parents are required to work a shift at the concession stand on the day of the tournament. This will not prevent you from seeing your son wrestle. We always make sure we have enough coverage to allow parents to step out for a few minutes to watch their sons compete. Please look for signups at practice or contact Wendy Shahrikian at threescooters@yahoo.com.
As always, please do not let any question go unasked or unanswered. We have provided you with multiple ways to get in touch with people who are able to answer any question you may have whether it be about tournaments, volunteer opportunities, practice schedules or any other question that pops into your head. You can post a general question using the Kids Club Contact Form on the website at http://www.hononegahwrestling.com/contact_KC.htm. Also, feel free to post a comment here on the blog and someone will be sure to answer your questions.
Thank you for the support you provide the program. Please make every effort to have your son at practice no later than 5:50 pm to allow him time to get his shoes on and get ready to start promptly at 6:00 pm.
