Club Leaders,
The University of Missouri Wrestling team http://mutigers.cstv.com/sports/m-wrest ... -body.html (http://mutigers.cstv.com/sports/m-wrestl/miss-m-wrestl-body.html) is inviting youth wrestling clubs to come "Wrestle with the Tigers" before two of it's home duals. Kids will have the opportunity to wrestle exhibition matches versus other kids from youth clubs in Missouri and Kansas prior to the Tigers matches. Those matches will be held on the Hearnes floor and will be refereed by many of the current Mizzou wrestlers. This has been a very popular event for the kids over the past several seasons and we are excited about getting more teams involved this year.
There will not be any weigh-ins, brackets or pressure, this is just for fun! We will separate the kids by age and weight and have them wrestle as many matches with as many opponents as time will allow. We have to clear the mats 1 hour prior to Tigers first match so we will start our matches approximately 2-1/2 hours before the scheduled starting time. We will then treat all of the wrestlers with a pizza party as they get ready to cheer on the Mizzou wrestlers.
So you are going to get to wrestle on the Hearnes Center floor with the Mizzou wrestlers, get a pizza party, and watch one of the best wrestling teams in the nation all for free. Even your family and coaches get in for free!
The two dates we have available are Saturday, January 31 vs.Nebraska (dual starts at 7:30 p.m.) Youth duals start at 5:00
and Sunday, February 15th vs. Iowa State (duals starts at 2:00 p.m.) Youth duals start at 11:30.
Please contact me at Buckyp@mopaclumber.com as soon as possible so I can include your team in this great event.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
