Hope to see all our DWC wrestlers at the tournament!!

Practices tonight - canceled

We just received word that practices (fundamental and competitive) will need to be canceled tonight due to the approaching storm.  The high school is canceling all of their activities, as well, so that students/children are not on the roads after dark. Be safe.

Reminders and Decorah Youth Tournament info

A friendly reminder that practices resume back to normal times this week: 6:30-7:45 pm for Competitive wrestlers (at high school).  Also, if you have not yet paid your second session dues, please do so asap. Thanks!!

Recognition Night - Details

Reminder that recognition night is this Thursday at Decorah High School. DWC participants will get in free that night with a ticket (handed out at Monday and Tuesday practice). If you missed practice, please see Coach Freidhof.

JV Matches Start at 6:15 PM - DWC members will need to be ready to be called to the commons area at around 6:30 PM

We will line up in the commons area and walk in on the mat and face the home crowd by grade level.

After the recognition, we encourage you to stay and watch senior night and cheer us on to a victory against Waukon.

See you all Thursday! Go Vikes!!!

Practice Schedules for next two weeks

Fundamental:

-Practice Monday, Jan. 7th 6:30-7:30 PM at high school (enter through front entrance walk towards new gym and take a left) (no changes in practice times for this group - only change is the location)

Competitive:
Tuesday, Jan. 8th 5-6:15 PM at high school (see directions above) (home hs dual vs Caledonia at Carrie Lee gym at 6:15 PM)
Friday, Jan. 11th 5:30-6:45 PM at high school (no practice on Thursday because coaches have double dual at Cresco that night)
Tuesday, Jan. 15th 3:30-4:45 PM at high school (home hs dual vs West Delaware at Carrie Lee gym at 5:45 PM)

Note from Decorah Wrestling Commander and Chief (aka Coach Freidhof) - "Due to the change of our practice location to the high school we are asking that parents not come into the the wrestling room unless you are going to help coach.  We are doing this for several reason.  First, the high school room does not have a lobby area built in but we do have a beautiful new large commons area right outside our door so instead of losing mat space and carrying more dirt in the room we would like to utilize the new facility.  Second, if you want to stay in the room then that encourages parents to be more involved and active.  If every parent grabbed a group of two and helped keep them focused we can probably get even more accomplished (we hope parents take this invite to help coach more).  Third, if parents want to talk with other parents during practice, the common area provides an area to do that and that eliminates extra noise for the coaches to have to coach over.  Thanks for your help with this and GO VIKES!!!"

Finally, a friendly reminder that second session payment for competitive wrestlers is now due. Please plan to pay at practice this week - $100.00 payable to DWC.  

DWC Recognition Night - Date Change

We have been informed that we need to change our DWC recognition night from Tuesday, January 8th (against Caledonia) to Thursday, January 17th.

Decorah High School will be wrestling in the high school gym against Waukon that night.

Note that DWC recognition night is for all DWC wrestlers - both competitive and fundamental participants. 

We will communicate more information closer to the date including details as to when to be there to line up, etc.  Plan to wear your grey DWC team shirt that night.  

Thursday practice changed to Friday!!!

Due to the high school wrestling dual against Charles City/Oelwein being held tomorrow night (originally scheduled for before Christmas but canceled due to the snow storm), DWC practice for tomorrow night will be held Friday at the high school from 5:30 to 6:45 PM. Please enter through the west parking lot doors (band hallway) turn left and enter practice gym and go through double doors into wrestling room. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope to see everyone Friday!
