Dear CS Porter Athletes,February, 2016
It’s time to give wrestling a try. The best time to get involved with wrestling is in the Middle School years. Get stronger, learn dedication and get tougher with Middle School Wrestling. The first day of practice will be Tuesday, February 16. The calendar of practices and competitions is on the back of this page. There is a $25 sports fee and an optional $20 uniform fee if you would like to purchase that. This year our uniform will be a mix of all the left over uniforms from the last 4 years. You can pick the one you want as it is first come first serve until they are gone.
You will be competing against kids approximately your own weight and close to your own age. You should wear close fitting, not tight, shirts and shorts for practice and competition. Shorts should not go past your knees. Any shorts with exposed metal will not be allowed on the mat. I have about 40 pairs of wrestling shoes to loan, but we need them back at the end of the season. Shoe donations are ALWAYS appreciated. Our mat, at CS Porter, has been donated for use by the Missoula Wrestling Club (Missoula Harley Davidson) & the Missoula Sentinel High School. We want to do everything that we can to return them in the same condition we received them.
Porter athletes are strongly encouraged to join one of the local wrestling clubs. Those who join one of the clubs will be wrestling against other schools in Northwestern Montana. Saturday tournaments are a LOT of fun and givemuch more experience on the mat to get ready to compete at the high school level. They are also a great way to meet new friends from Western Montana.
Wrestling is a non-cut sport. Students who go out will make the team and get a chance to compete throughout the season provided they’re in good standings. Each athlete will need to pay a $25.00 Middle School activity fee.
If you would like to continue your wrestling experience after your Middle School season has ended, the Missoula Wrestling Club will be holding practices atSentinel High School. The MWC contact is Ron Beck, and he can be reached at 218-8657. In addition to the MWC, Sudden Victory is an independent club which is run by Rick Moreno at the SHEC Building and he can be reached at 396-4323. These programs run through the middle of April. Contact Blake Love at or at 880-8643 for more information on any of the above information.
Planning on a GREAT season!
Yours in wrestling,
