The Maple Grove Crimson Wrestling Team is in need of (2) New Wrestling Mats at a cost of over $11,000 each. The High School has offered up substantial funds to purchase the first mat this year (for use this fall/winter season - 2012), with that, they have come to the Booster Club asking us to fund the remaining cost (approx $3,000). What the Booster Club is asking, is for Alumni / Parents / Wrestlers / Friends of Crimson Wrestling to consider making a donation to the Wrestling Mat Fund, these donations will go directly to buying new mat(s) for the Wrestling Program. Any dollar value is acceptable; please send checks to our Booster Club Treasurer (address below) and note "Wrestling Mat Fund" on the Memo Line:

If there are any questions do not hesitate to call John Osatiuk (612) 730-5264. As a reminder, your donation may be tax deductible.

Thanks for your assistance,

Some parents have asked what Technique Camps I would suggest for our less experienced wrestlers.  There are a number of great technique camps in the area that would all be good experiences.  However, it’s also important for our wrestlers to attend with one or more teammates.  I'm going to list the technique camps in the order that I would suggest attending.  Please email me at UWECWrestling@Hotmail.com with the camps that your wrestler would be interested in attending.  I will add their names as I get them so that wrestlers can make plans to attend together.  Here are the camps:

1.  St. John's (great guest clinicians, good mixture of wrestling and fun).  Dates:  June 24th - June 28th.  Cost:  $365.  http://sjuwrestlingcamp.com/

2.  U of Minnesota (Top notch program with elite wrestling coaching).  Dates:  July 8-12 or July 15-19th.  Cost:  $449 (take $25 off for early registration).

If neither of these work let me know as there are more options.  However, to me these two camps are a cut above the others.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks.
