The Glasgow AAU Wrestling Club will be hosting sign-ups this Saturday, December 13th from 10:00 A.M. – 2:00 P.M. at the Glasgow High School in Room 1. Sign-ups will occur during the Jr. High / High School tournament. The board felt this would lead to maximum exposure for our veteran wrestlers, as well as a time to answer questions for any new incoming parents/wrestlers. Please bring your child and take in a great day of competition. They truly deserve our support.
Registration fees will be $70 for the first child, $60 thereafter and a $200 maximum per family. Each wrestler will also be required to sell 1 book of raffle tickets (10 tickets). As compared to around the state, we are significantly lower than most clubs and intend to keep it that way. The board will make every effort to keep costs down to ensure maximum youth participation in the great sport of wrestling.
Costs associated with running the club have been increasing annually with rising insurance costs, tournament entry fees, etc. In order to combat that, we have revamped the raffle this year in order to offer some great prizes and increase participation. The club purchased a 2014 Honda 4-Wheeler from Scott’s Track N’ Wheel. Farm Equipment Sales was generous enough to donate an amazing BBQ Grill valued at $500. Eugenes, Reynolds and Ezzies Midtown once again donated prizes for the raffle. Please do your best to get out and sell these early; as the club has already purchased the 4 wheeler in advance. More details will be available at Sign-ups.
The schedule stacks up very nicely for our wrestlers. We will be hosting the first tournament of the season on February 21st. We also have local tournaments in Glendive, Sidney and Wolf Point. In the past we’ve been stuck with a subpar local schedule. That is not the case this year. The above clubs do a great job hosting tournaments. We should travel well and have a successful season.
