2020 Preseason information - registration now open

---

We will be doing things a little differently this Preseason. Please review the information below before you register.  There are Limited Spots available this year.  Register now to make sure you don't miss out. 

This year we have moved to TeamSnap and we ask that you get the app downloaded on your phone.  This is how some of the communication will happen during the season.  We will also ask that you update your wrestler/s availability for each practice.  This helps us speed up the check-in process.  

We will still be checking temperatures at the door and here are some simple rules to follow.  

1. PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO PRACTICE STARTING.

2. Wrestlers only - No parents unless your wrestler I Pre-K – 2nd Grade.

           *Parents of the Pre-K-2nd Grade Group can enter to assist with getting their wrestlers ready for practice, but then we ask you to leave.  If you do enter the building you will be required to wear a MASK at ALL TIMES.  You will need to enter with your wrestler and your temperature will also be taken.

3. NO bags or drinks allowed (Wrestlers and their shoes ONLY)

4. We suggest not using the restrooms unless necessary

5. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms (Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea) Please DO NOT attend practice and notify coach Massey right away.

Temperatures will be taken upon entry (If you are over 100.3 you will NOT be allowed to enter)

6. Make sure your wrestler/s shower as soon as they get home

This year we will be having practice on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. Coach Massey will also be having a Sunday practice for the 7th-12th grade wrestlers.  You must register your wrestler for the grade they are currently in.  The only exceptions will be if coach Massey instructs you to attend another group.

We hope this email finds you all safe and well. Over the past couple of weeks, we have had a number of texts wondering when we can open up again. Although we can't totally open up, we can get in the club and run drills. Of course, all these drills are wrestling related; we will work on strength, flexibility, position, footwork, and just getting back on the mat!!!

Of course, we have to follow Iowa, specifically Pottawattamie County, Health and Human Services as well as USA Wrestling's guidelines. According to the previous statement, we are in Phase III of said guidelines. Although you can read the 24-page document, it isn't all that fun.  We will direct you to pages 22 and 23. Page 22 is a shortened version of how we can operate while page 23 explains the symptoms of COVID-19 so you know when to stay home. You can read USA Wrestling's guidelines from the following link:

 https://content.themat.com/covid-19/USAW-Return-to-the-Mat-Guidelines.pdf 

We will practice every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights.  Group #1 will be Intermediate and Group #2 will be advanced.  We will only offer Group #3 if Group #2 fills up and we fell there is enough demand.  Practices will start Monday, June 8th and run through the end of July.  We will not be allowing any WALK-INS during this season.  Please note, your wrestler must be entering 2nd grade or higher in the fall to participate.  With limited spots, current members from the 2019/20 season we will be given first rights.  If we still have spots available, we will open it to the public. 

We will be running two rooms per session divided by a coaching area.  Each wrestler will have an 8’x9’ space to practice in.  There will be a “blank space on each side of a wrestler to make sure we maintain a 6-foot clearance.  Please see the diagram below.  All practices will be conducted on the east side of the wrestling room and will be limited to 10 wrestlers per “room” per session.  All wrestlers have to be registered prior to coming to practice, we will make NO EXCEPTIONS for anyone.

We will be very strict on the following rules for the safety of our athletes, coaches, and the PWC family.

1.       No parents allowed in the building at any time.  You will drop your wrestler/s off and pick them up.

2.       No bags, drinks, food, or anything other than wrestlers and their wresting shoes allowed in.

3.       If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to practice.  See USA Wrestling Guideline for a list of symptoms.

4.       Wrestlers will wait at the door maintaining a 6-foot distance from other wrestlers until doors open.

5.       Wrestlers will enter the building with wrestling shoes in hand, NOT on their feet.  If you show up wearing your wrestling shoes you will not be allowed to practice that day.

6.       Wrestlers will check in with Coach Massey.

7.       Wrestlers' temperature will be taken and recorded.

    a.       Any temperature over 100.4 is considered a fever

    b.       If you have a fever you will not be allowed to practice for 14 days.

8.       They will be asked a series of questions that they must answer yes or no (examples below)

   a.       Have you had any symptoms or been tested for COVID-19 in the last 14 days?

   b.       Have you been around anyone with symptoms or being tested for COVID-19 in the last 14 days?

   c.       Have you traveled outside of the United States in the last 14 days?

        i.      If you answer yes to any of the above questions you will NOT be allowed to practice

9.       If allowed to enter practice wrestlers will walk straight to “Remove Shoes” area and remove their street shoes and then take their street shoes and wrestling shoes to their designated area using the “Walk Areas”

10.   Wrestler/s will put on their wrestling shoes and remain in their area and wait for practice to begin

11.   Coach Massey will lock the doors after all are checked in or 2 minutes prior to practice starting.

12.   Practice will be conducted

    a.       All wrestlers will remain in their areas for the duration of practice.

    b.       Coach Massey will remain in “Coach Area” for the duration of practice

13.   When practice is over wrestlers will change into their street shoes while remaining in their area

14.   All wrestlers will wait for Coach to “release” them from practice

15.   At this time all wrestlers will exit the facility keeping a 6-foot clearance from other wrestlers and coaches

16.   Once all wrestlers have exited the building, Coach Massey will lock the door and then clean the wrestling areas for the next session.

17.   Then we will repeat the process

As a club, we have decided to move away from SportsCRM and will now be using TeamSnap for all registrations and communication.  I am sure that most of you have used TeamSnap in the past for soccer, baseball, etc.  We think this will be a better solution for both the club and our members.  Remember we will only accept online registrations and all registrations must be paid online prior to coming to the club.  If you show up for practice and are not on the roster, you will NOT be allowed to practice that day, NO EXCEPTIONS.
