Here is an update for what we have going on in Leavenworth County for the post-HS season.

The Slammer Wrestling Club will hold its first HS age practice on 22 Feb following HS Regionals. Any wrestlers released from their high school programs are welcome. Following the HS State Tournament, we should fill up the wrestling room with about 20 wrestlers.

Practice Times and Locations are:

Mondays - Fort Leavenworth Harney Gym - 5:30 to 7:00 (combined practice with the Fort Leavenworth Warriors)
Weds - Lansing High School - 6:00 to 7:45
Thurs - Lansing High School - 7:30 to 8:45

While the 16U group will be focusing on USAW Kansas State Tournament Series, there will be several junior/seniors in the room training for events like the Metro-Classic, Brute-Adidas, etc.

Club Flyers and registration have been sent out to Lansing, Leavenworth, Mill Valley, Pleasant Ridge, and Basehor High Schools. Need wrestlers to register with the club by 16 Feb in order to order USA Wrestling cards in time for the USAW State Tournament Series.

Slammer Wrestling is open to all. We just ask for two things:

You purchase or have a USA Wrestling Card.
You work hard in the practice room.

(Make it three - you change your clothes between practices)

The Slammers will transition to freestyle / Greco on 4 April following Brute-Adidas. Practice times will change and we will go from three training groups 10U, 14U, and HS to one consolidated group.

Need help coaching freestyle. If you are interested please email me.

For Brute, we sent 6 kids last year, and I imagine we might have a little more this year.

Mike Furches I will keep you updated on the kids that commit.
