A COUPLE OF NOTES

The Eagles Wrestling Team has started to settle in and get down to business. The boys and girls club clinics are sat 11/14 and sat 11/21. All newbies and any other wrestlers who would like some extra mat time and training should be attending these 2dates. After that the club offers tues and fri night wrestling. If you might be interested in the team hoodies please email me so I can get some idea of the totals. This is not placing an order just a rough head count. I will be ordering them hopefully by next Thursday 11/19. Remind the wrestlers they have homework in the conditioning dept each night. They should be doing 30 minutes of actual exersizing each day there isnt any wrestling. We have our 1st dual meet Thursday Dec 3rd, we will be needing any parents who can help with the shuttling of the wrestlers to Pelham. We will leave Elm St @ 3pm and will start wrestling @ 4pm. Any parent who is able to take a few wrestlers please email me asap. Thank You COACH HERB B

WELCOME ELM STREET WRESTLERS

I would like to congratulate all ELM STREET WRESTLERS who have joined this years team. With 2 practices under our belt there are many positives and a few areas for improvement. If you know of anyone who would like to still join please have them come to a practice asap as they will be loosing valuable time by waiting too long. Practices are Mondays and Thursdays in the small gym. If we get bumped our alt spot is the cafe. They will run from 3-5pm. Remember when you come to any wrestling event to come prepared and ready to go. ie properly dressed - shorts, t-shirt, sneakers. Jeans, zippers on clothing, street shoes, baggy clothing etc is not allowed or tolerated. I have updated the events section and put asterisks next to a few items. These are for the NEWBIES that we discussed at the parents meeting. Some are to watch and others are to wrestle if they wish. All wrestlers are expected to attend all practices and Dual Meets that occur during the week. On the weekends the events with asterisks are for all wrestles as well. Any of the tournements without * or ** are for the more experienced, however if you want to go you must let me know in advance as they are prepay. In closing for now please remember your homework- situps, pushups, squats, and practice what you have learned each day. Oh Yeah, I almost forget, think of the TEAM SONG, TEAM MOTTO. See you all on Monday and be READY TO GO EAGLES..

Passing the Torch

Hi everyone. Hope you had a great summer!

With a heavy heart I have to tell you that I will not be able to coach this year. My job has put some restrictions on my time and I am traveling alot more, so I will not be able to make the practices. However, the Elm Street Eagles have an excellent new coach this year; Herb Bennett.

Herb has been a youth wrestling coach for the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Nashua for good number of years and has done an outstanding job. He is a great fit for Middle School wrestling and I am sure he will bring this team to new heights. Please welcome Herb as you did with me into his new position as Head Coach.

I had an awesome time coaching all of you and hope to see you again at some of your tournaments, meets, and maybe a practice or two. Stay healthy and strong, and have a great season!

Coach Ellwood

Off-season Summer Conditioning

Off-season summer conditioning is important for wrestling success. Even if you only have one year of wrestling experience under your belt, you know first-hand that physical strength and conditioning create a real competitive edge in this sport.

Fred Daniels, one of the middle school "wrestling dads", is a certified Health/Fitness Instructor and fitness director with a Master's degree in Exercise Science from Brooklyn College. He operates the Center for Physical Therapy and Exercise.

He has put together a FREE, no-strings-whatsoever-attached off-season conditioning program for middle school wrestlers and he will be making a presentation/demonstration of the program, free of charge, Friday evening, June 12, at 6:30 pm at the Nashua Catholic Jr. High gymnasium.

This is not a business promotion for Mr. Daniels. His son is a middle school wrestler, and he has taken a great interest in our cooperative, interscholastic city-wide program. This is a terrific opportunity to learn from someone who knows what he's talking about, and do something to elevate the level at which you train and compete.

There will also have literature available about summer wrestling camps.

You're all invited. If you need a ride, just get in touch with your coach. We'll get you there, and we'll get you home.
