Parents and Wrestlers,
The coaches are looking forward to the new season & seeing all of you guys again, as well as meeting some new faces! We will be starting practice on Monday 11/29/10, at the Burlington High School Wrestling Gym (123 Cambridge St). Practices will run from 6:30 pm -8:30 pm. Please try to get there about 10-15 minutes early the first night so you can fill out paperwork, say hi to old friends and we can be ready to go right on-time. As with last year, we will line up a few scrimmages soon. These scrimmages are very laid back and a great learning experience. We look forward to working with you all again very soon!

Chris, Dan & Anthony

Are you a "PROUD Burlington Wrestling Mom"?

So far I have heard back from the following Moms who want to see a "Mom shirt" this year: Soda, Cromwell, Stanton, Hurley, Keelan, Moroney and Mitchell (7) in total, we need 10.

Would you like to add a "Wrestling Mom" T-shirt to the apparel offerings this year? We think we'd all be styling at the tourneys in matching "girl" T-shirts. Would you buy one, let us know by e-mail at Burlingtonyouthwrestling@gmail.com. Depending on qty ordered, price would be $16 (with S&H and minimum order of 10 shirts)
.


The shirts are pink "Hanes Her Way" (not a boxy mans T-shirt) it's the classic fit, 4.5 oz., 100% combed ringspun cotton. Lightweight jersey fabric for outstanding drape and comfort. Set-in rib collar with double-needle coverstitching along neck. Contoured and sideseamed for feminine classic fit styling. (Sizes range from S to XL, an addl fee of $2.50 for XXL)
