CHESTERFIELD HOPEWELL YOUTH WRESTLING LEAGUE

We are a part of a league called Chesterfield-Hopewell Youth Wrestling League.  There are 15 teams in our league this year:Amelia, Ashland, Clover Hill (Cosby Vipers), Colonial Heights, DWC, Dinwiddie, Hopewell, Matoaca, Midlothian Miners, North Chesterfield, Prince George, Smackdown (Hanover), New Kent, and Powhatan.

Our league meets are held each Sunday starting in January and going through February.   At these meets your children will be paired by age and weight so they wrestle someone close to their age and size.  

Wear your team T-Shirts, singlets and bring headgear.

All wrestlers are registered for the meets unless you call a coach in advance to let us know you will not attend.
 

Wrestlers will generally wrestle 2 matches (sometimes 3 matches will occur) set up by weight and age.  Do not leave the gym until you have

been cleared by one of the coaches.  The more you wrestle, the more experience you will get!!

Parents are encouraged to support their kids on match day, but please watch from the bleachers.  The wrestling area becomes too congested
if parents come out of the bleachers to watch their kids at the side of the mats.

Once at our wrestling site, get your shoes on, stretch out and warm-up.  Wrestlers ands parents must pay attention for their age group to be called

over the PA.  All wrestlers from each age group will be lined up in a back hallway and paired up by weight for their matches.

 

CHYWL is a 100% volunteer run organization.  Without everyone's support, we can not run the league.  As a parent, you will be asked to and expected to:  a) help with set up (ask a league official where you can help when you get there), b) help with scorer table duties (ask your team mom), c) help with concessions (on your team's week...ask your team mom) and d) help with tear down and clean up each week (ask any league official at the end of weekly meets).  Volunteers are critical to the running of our kid's league and it provides for quick learning of the sport of wrestling.  Please have your calendars ready at your team's sign ups!
