Update before the weekend

As the big weekend gets started...

​For those of you whose kids are completing their seasons this weekend at AAU State (or aren't competing at either AAU State or USA Districts):

• Your kids had their last practice of the season last night. We hope they learned a ton this year and had a positive experience! We always welcome your feedback as to how we can make our club more beneficial to kids at all levels.
• We'll have a singlet return where you can bring back your child's clean singlet and get your deposit back next Tuesday, March 3 from 6-7 p.m. at FHC. Look for us near the wrestling room doors. (If we're not there for some reason check the cafeteria.)
• We have a couple of volunteers to plan our year-end banquet, so stay tuned for more information on that, as well as for info on summer camps and other opportunities.
• Thanks for letting us teach your kids about wrestling!

 

For those competing at AAU State Gold or Blue:

Both Blue and Gold divisions must weigh in at one of the times and locations listed on the flier. (See below.) BLUE wrestlers must make scratch weight or they cannot wrestle. If GOLD wrestlers do not make scratch weight, they will be bumped to the next weight class.

The exception to this is if Blue wrestlers are also wrestling at USA Districts on Saturday. If this is the case, see below. Note that you have to follow instructions to the T in order to count your USA Districts weigh-in for AAU State.

• Using USA District Weigh-In for AAU State: We will honor the weigh-in for any wrestler who weighed in for one of the 2019 USA District tournaments.Each wrestler wishing to use their USA district weigh-in must send an email to MissouriAAUState@gmail.com with the Name, Age Division, and Weight Class that they are registered in for this AAU State tournament and inform us that you wish to use your USA District weigh-in. The weigh-in information – including exact weight the wrestler weighed-in at - must be sent to us from the official USA District tournament host before the close of weigh-ins for the wrestler’s respective division in this AAU State tournament. Any wrestler who fails to inform us they wish to use their USA District weigh-in or who we do not receive an official weigh-in for from the host of the USA District tournament will be required to weigh-in at this AAU State tournament or will be scratched from the tournament.

Scratch weight.  Any wrestler who fails to make the weight at which they were entered will not be allowed to wrestle, absolutely no changes.
 
Wrestlers will be allowed to weigh-in one time only on Friday night. If a wrestler is over-weight on Friday, than they will be allowed to weigh-in one time only on Saturday morning.  Scales will be opened one-half (1/2) hour prior to the weigh-in times on Friday and  Saturday  to allow wrestlers to check their weight; after the weigh-ins begin, there will be no checking of weight.   Wrestlers must be allowed to use any of the certified scales being used for the competition weigh-ins.  Wrestlers who are overweight after their one time weigh-in on Saturday morning will not be allowed to wrestle.  There will be no running, or other weight loss measures, allowed inside the wrestling facility.  

If you're planning to use the weight at Districts for AAU State, make sure you have followed the instructions!

More info
First of all, remember that you will be unlikely to be able to make or receive calls or texts from within Seckman's campus, or use the Internet. This means you must plan ahead! Print out your child's bracket from TrackWrestling, and arrive early enough to figure out which gym you'll be in.

If your child places in the TOP SIX, he or she will qualify for regionals next Saturday in Jackson, MO. You must pay the $20 fee for regionals before leaving the tournament. Please find Anne Jundt (who will be wherever her son Jaxon is wrestling) and take care of this before leaving. You'll also need to decide whether you want to stay overnight in Jackson next Friday night or take advantage of the "remote" weigh-in at Seckman HS. (Had heard it would be at Howell but this did not come to fruition.)

All USA kids will continue to practice through USA State week. Schedule forthcoming.

Good luck to everyone! Wrestle like Spartans!
