Hello Lincoln Youth Wrestlers! It’s just about that time of year again. Be on the lookout for LYW info in your students school newsletter. In the meantime, here is a quick summary of what’s to come.
Practices
· Mondays / Thursdays 6:00 – 7:30 for the advanced group. This will consist of any wrestler that feels confident that they know the basic fundamentals of wrestling as well as have the correct attitude and attention span as to not be a distraction from the rest of the class. They should have a good understanding of correct stance, takedowns, defense, starting positions, pinning combos etc…
· Thursdays 6:00 - 7:00 for the beginner group. This will consist of 1st / 2nd year wresters, or anyone else for that matter, that are looking to learn the basics building blocks of becoming a good wrestler.
· With the days that coaches have available, we are looking at having a combined practice on Thursdays. We will likely warm up & review the basics as a group, then split up to focus on drills
Coaches
· Mark Ernster – Head High School Coach
· Topher Cisar – Youth Coach
· Robiel Tesfaldet – Middle School / Youth Coach
· Mike Long – High School Ast. Coach
· Todd Wells – Middle School / Youth Coach
· Let me know if anyone of you are able to help out with practice. Especially with the beginner group. There will be times that our wrestlers will need assistance while a coach is helping out another wrestler.
Misc
If you have a 6th grader, I believe they might be able to catch a bus from certain middle schools to LHS and practice with the high schoolers. Coach Ernster can provide more info on that if need be. Let him know if this interests you. [email protected]
