Weekend Wars 2016

[MingusCoach]

Just got confirmation that Durango Colorado is coming up this Weekend Wars. They are extremely tough. Both the high school and middle school kids they bring usually do not lose. So if you are looking for some great mat time, come on up and join in on the fun.

Las Vegas boys just confirmed they are coming up looking for some great mat time so lets get some

WOW! This weekend we had visitors from Bayfield Colorado, Las Vegas Nevada, and Durango Colorado. That combined with the wrestlers from all around Arizona produced some great matches. The quality level was that of the state championship caliber.

It is amazing to see everyone that attends and the new friends we meet every other weekend. It’s a great honor that we gather together as colleagues, witnessing wrestlers of the past who now carry on the torch and are coaching and mentoring the youth in their communities. The room is full of souls with passion for the sport providing technical advice and placing hope in the hands of our children.

The kids learn that it is important to set goals, to follow your dreams and reach for the stars. That we need to pursue our visions, as well as take risks that may be foreign to us. To take every chance or opportunity that comes your way, because they go fast, and regret is the one thing that can never be made up for. We tell them, "In everything you do, think about it and how it affects you and everybody around you." To "stay safe and realize that the choices you make today will affect the rest of your life." They both really hit on how important your every move is, and how your life can strongly impact those around you. This is the quality of mentorship provided daily while in their journey through our Weekend Wars program, where the best get better.

Aztec New Mexico and Las Vegas is looking to come to next Weekend Wars on August 20th. They will be confirming next week. They are looking for great competition to push their boys to greater heights. So come on up and join in on the fun.

Just a reminder that this Saturday August 20th is Weekend Wars.
Camp Verde’s Weekend Wars continue to have success. We have officially serviced over 20,000 wrestlers from schools, teams and clubs from all over Arizona and also out of state. The attendance numbers have risen every year. With the increase in numbers, the quality levels have also risen. The event has led to matches equal or tougher than those at the state level. This past weekend’s tournament was a great success, presenting many opportunities for kids to test their skills. Unbelievable! Is the best way to describe several matches. I still can’t stop thinking about it the following week. With champion-like qualities of courage, fortitude, determination, tenacity and perseverance, many wrestlers are proving that if you dedicate yourself and work hard, you will succeed.
Many new coaches/organizations are joining in on the fun. This is absolutely outstanding. Needless to say, Arizona is on its way up. Congratulations to one and all. In 2017 I look forward to watching Arizona Wrestling’s quality level rise and advance to a position of excellence. With so many dedicated Coaches, parents and teams, I am confident that those participating in off-season Weekend Wars will again improve in leaps and bounds finding themselves at the top of the State podium.

Everything is free. All we want is mat time for all kids. I highly recommend it to anyone that wishes to move up another level in their wrestling skills. Weigh-in starts at 7:00AM. Folkstyle Wrestling starts at 8:00 AM (three one minute periods) and usually finishes by noon. We would like parents and coaches to either ensure that all your kids sign a waiver. Please bring a copy every week. For those of you who have been asking how they can help support these weekend wars, I could really use help with refereeing and a case of water bottles. Once again thanks to all the Coaches and Parents who support this function. Many kids thanked us for putting on Weekend Wars for them. Many kids are benefiting from all our collaborative efforts as a brotherhood.
Wrestlers- Three one minute periods of Folkstyle competition. Kindergarten thru high school. Tons of kids show up in every weight class. No lifting in the air. All wrestlers should bring their own white athletic tape and wrestling shoes. (singlet’s and head gear are optional)
If you are using Map Quest, use 321 W Apache Trail, Camp Verde AZ 86322 as your destination.
P.S. This weekend we have a teams from Nevada and New Mexico coming up to test their skills. So if you’re looking for different styles to compete with, then come on up and join in on the fun.



Thank you
Coach Chagolla

Weigh-ins start at 7:00 AM and wrestling commences at 8:00 AM. Please don’t be late as this only holds up everything.

Just a reminder, please have your wrestlers bring their own, white tape, nose plugs, band aids and med kit. I cannot afford to supply all of Arizona's medical needs. Contrary to rumors circulating. I did not receive a "Stimulus" package from Obama.

If you are using Map Quest, use 321 W Apache Trail, Camp Verde AZ 86322 as your destination.

The attendance numbers have grown thus far. With the increase in numbers, the quality levels have also risen. The event has led to matches equal or tougher than those at the state level.

A lot of great matches took place. Our next Weekend Wars will be the last one until next year. Several out of state teams will be showing up. Cimarron Nevada will be coming back with a whole team looking for some great mat time. So come on up and join in on the fun

 

[MingusCoach]

This Saturday will be our last Weekend Wars for this year. Wrestlers you still have one more opportunity (September 17th) to get some mat time against quality wrestlers free of charge. So come on up and feel the energy for yourself. There have been so many that have improved their skills in leaps and bounds. If you enjoy seeing great quality matches that reach beyond the barriers of School Divisions then this is the place you want to come and see some epic matches.

To be a great wrestler you must have the desire to be the best, a desire to dominate on the mat. You must have a burning passion, a commitment and dedication to excel through sacrifices that must be made. It takes a high tolerance for pain. You have to be able to put up with a lot of pain, from pushing your body to its limits.

Most athletes are not willing to sacrifice partying/drinking and the normal life for something much more rewarding. Most athletes aren’t willing to do this because they are content with fitting in and being mediocre. Weekend Warriors choose to challenge themselves and be the best that they can be.

Once again thanks to the many Arizona Coaches who attend Weekend Wars and constantly strive to provide competitive opportunities for all levels of wrestlers that are reasonably challenging, while still giving them the chance to succeed and grow to reach their full potential. In addition these coaches have an unwavering focus on development of their athletes, by providing them the support they need as they strive to become better wrestlers and human beings.

We all reap the benefits from being a part of this great wrestling Weekend Wars Community. Our numbers, our talent, and dedication have us well positioned to make this the best wrestling mat time program top to bottom that Arizona has ever seen. All are welcome and I encourage all of you to find your place, to use your energy and talents to continue to make this program great.

Thank you
