West Regional Preseason Open

We have our first tournament on October 25th at the Legacy Center in Farmington, Utah. The tournament is called the West Regional Preseason Open. If you are wanting to get started with tournaments I would encourage you to register and participate in this event. The registration cost is $15, register at: http://www.trackwrestling.com/opentournaments/VerifyPassword.jsp?tournamentId=143048009. 

We will be posting information about the winter season soon. The winter season will begin in November so stay tuned!

Private Lessons

Koleton Hardy wrestles for Utah Valley University and is willing to do private lessons for the Westlake wrestlers. They would cost $20/hour (if held at UVU) so if you have two wrestlers it would be $10 each per hour session which is a great deal! He will take groups of up to 6 wrestlers. If there are more than 2 wrestlers the cost would go up by $5 for each kid so for a group of 3 the cost would be $25/hour session. I would highly recommend private lessons as this gives your kids the one on one attention they need. If you are interested or want more information please contact Jeff Newby @ Jeffreynewby@wrestleutah.com.

USA Cards

Parents,

Fall practices do not cost anything but you must purchase your Full USA Card. This card is $40 and is something you will need later on anyways to compete in tournaments and practices. You must have this card before next practice on Tuesday, September 16th. Purchase this card by going to www.wrestleutah.com and clicking on the link that says, "Purchase your 2014-2015 USA Membership Card today."

We have had such a great turnout so far that we will be adding a practice for the younger/beginner wrestlers starting next week so we can give the younger/beginner kids more attention and help them progress quicker. We will get details emailed out and posted soon. We are really excited about the turnout we are having so please continue helping us grow by inviting all your friends, family and neighbors to join us!
