On March 3; we will start our Foard Youth Wrestling League (3rd grade-6th grade)  and Tiger Wrestling Club (7th grade-12th grade).  If you aren't involved in a spring sport; then you are encouraged to attend these short and light workouts (1 hour on Tuesday and Thursday after school).  This is the difference in being good and great.  We will also go to Appalachian State University's wrestling camp in mid-July, and attend the St. Stephens H.S. Day Wrestling Camp in mid-June.  The ASU camp cost around $300 for 4 days, and SSHS camp cost around $70 for 4 days.  Every wrestler in our program needs to attend at least one of these camps.   I will get more information on all of this as the time gets closer.  If there are any wrestlers who would like to coach or officiate or parents that would like to coach with the Foard Tiger Youth League; then please get in touch with me.  Remember, this will only be twice a week for 6 weeks.-Coach Carey  
   
  This makes for a long, tough season with a lot of ups and downs.  Be strong, and don't quit.  I promise you will grow from it.  
Adversity weakens the weak, and strengthens the strong.

Tiger Wrestling
Expectations and Rules
 

-Be at school on time, and do what you are suppose to do.
You can't play any sports without meeting your attendance and academic requirements.

-Be at practice on time, and practice like you want to win.
You can't be very good by going through the motions.  This sport requires every bit of your body and mind.

-If you are going to be absent from school or practice, then I must know by 8:30am.  You can email me at:  mike_carey@catawba.k12.nc.usor call me at school (704) 462-1496, and talk to me personally.

-If you are late to practice, then you must have a teacher's note.  All other tardies will result in 50 updowns after practice.

-If you are absent from practice, match, or tournament for any reason, then you will have 100 updowns per practice missed.  This is a hard rule, but we need to make every effort to be at practice even if we aren't 100%.
If you sign out early, then you must come let me know in person that you won't be at practice.

-Failure to let me know of a tardy or absence results in an additional 50 updowns to the above policies.  For example, if you are absent from practice, and didn't let me know, then you would have 150 updowns the next practice.

-If you are injured; then please contact me asap.  Understand there is a difference between being hurt and being injured.  This sport can almost guarantee that you will be hurt some this year.  I expect you to battle through being
"hurt" at times, but if you are injured, then please communicate this with me.

-You are expected to make weight if you tell the team/coach that you would.  I won't ever ask you  to "cut" much weight, and the state of North Carolina won't allow anything unhealthy to happen with their mandatory weight loss plan.  However, you are expected to be at your weight class for all matches.  Not making weight is a selfish act.
Always bring a healthy snack to eat/drink after weigh-ins.

-Be respectful and positive towards teammates, classmates, opponents, teachers, and administrators.
You represent your family, the school and this wrestling program, and I want you to take pride in that fact.

-Be the very best that you can be. Never settle for something less then you are.
