2017 GWC REGISTRATION

The Glasgow Wrestling Club will be hosting sign-ups Saturday, December 10th from 11:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M. at the Glasgow High School (Room 1). Sign-ups will occur during the High School tournament. The board felt this would lead to maximum exposure for our veteran wrestlers, as well as a time to answer questions for any new incoming parents/wrestlers. Please bring your child and take in a great day of competition. They truly deserve our support. 

This years High School event should be EXTRA special.  We are bringing in OVER 20 teams (over doubling the size of the tournament).  We will have 4 mats going the whole day and under the lights for the championship matches.  Friday afternoon we will also be hosting dual matches with over 15 teams.  Should be a GREAT weekend of wrestling here in G-town! 
 
Registration fees remain unchanged this year and will be $70 for the first child, $60 thereafter and a $200 maximum per family. Each wrestler will also be required to sell 1 book of raffle tickets(10 tickets). As compared to around the state, we are significantly lower than most clubs and intend to keep it that way. The board will make every effort tokeep costs down to ensure maximum youth participation in the great sport of wrestling.
 
Costs associated with running the club have been increasing annually with rising insurance costs, tournament entry fees, etc. In order to combat that, we continue the raffle from last year in order to offer some great prizes and increase participation. The club purchased a 2016 Honda 4-Wheeler purchased from Scott’s Track N’ Wheel. Farm Equipment Sales was generous enough to donate an amazing gun safe this year. Eugenes, Reynolds and Ezzies once again donated prizes for the raffle.
 
Please do your best to get out and sell these early; as the club has already purchased the 4-wheeler in advance. More details will be available at Sign-ups.
 
The schedule stacks up very nicely for our wrestlers. We are starting our season earlier this year, in order to maximize participation and time on the mat.  Our first practice is slated for Monday, January 9th.  We host our tournament this year much earlier than normal (January, 28th).

We will also have some apparel from past years that we need to clear out, available at sign-ups.  Great Christmas presents!
