West Perry Wrestling
The West Perry wrestling team features a program with strong traditions. Our past teams have posted seasons with incredible win records in some years and have spent time rebuilding in other years. West Perry is proud to continually post large numbers of wrestlers that step to the challenges of the sport. In recent years the team has had several wrestlers do well in the post season competing against state and national powerhouse programs.

The majority of the feedback that I received is in favor of us staying over as residents at Camp this summer. The camp is a great opportunity to improve technique, training habits, and competitive camp experience. Plus the boys have a lot of fun during the their rest time. This camp is for High school wrestlers entering 9th through 12th grade. I have signed out the school van to assist in transportation. Depending on the numbers of athletes interested we may need to make some additional arrangements. Please remember that this in voluntary and is organized as an extra opportunity for the boys, however their is a financial cost for the family. We may be able to get a discount depending on the number of wrestlers that go. We have extended this opportunity to our wrestling friends at Carlisle high school. This will increase our numbers and help to fill team roster spots. In turn they have invited any of our athletes interested in traveling with them to a weekend tournament in Michigan. For more information on that tournament feel free to contact me individually.
Camp Registration forms are attached to this email and posted on the website. I will also have some on hand at our team meeting Wed. 5/22 during at the 10:30 club period (wrestling room). In order to help with organization and arranging the possible discounts, I would like to send in the registration forms & deposits (check) together. They can be turn them into me at the Tues. workouts or Mr. Austin has agreed to collect them at school and get them to me. Please turn these in by the end of the school year. If you prefer to send them in yourself or register online, that is fine, but please contact me first to help arrange discounts and to stay as a group. Any question... Please feel free to contact me.
Piranha game Concessions: The original game we got scheduled to provide coverage was a weekend that other wrestling events are going on, therefore I have been negotiating a different weekend. Due to the short notice the team this weekend had difficulty finding coverage so they agreed to take our weekend if we just help them this week. Since it was short notice and I needed quick feedback, I reached out to a couple parents and they agreed to join my wife and I at the game this weekend. We thank Mr. & Mrs. Hall for their help as it got the team off the hook. I also thank everyone else that offered to help if needed this summer, I know that there will more help needed in the future.
Other items: Coach Kell has agreed to accept the high school assistant coach position next year. I am excited to have him spend more time in the high school room. We will soon be posting the middle school position that Coach Kell has filled the past few years.
Premium practices time at Carlisle have had to cancel the Thursday workouts due to a school (Carlisle) decision to close all their buildings Thursday evenings through the weekend for money savings.
Thank you,
Coach Wertz
