RIVER BEND WRESTLING
|
Welcome to River Bend Wrestling!
We are busy preparing for the upcoming 2017-2018 season! Last year, we formed the first ever River Bend Wrestling Team with the strong support of the Potomac Falls HS wrestling program, and the athletes had a outstanding season. This team is primarily for students who attend River Bend MS. The season runs from November through February. There will be wrestlers with experience on the team, but we also expect a lot of brand new wrestlers. So it's a fantastic opportunity to join the "world's oldest sport" and determine if it's an activity you'll want to continue at Potomac Falls. Coaching Staff Last year's head coach Jason Coverdale has moved from the area. But we are pleased that long-time Sterling Wrestling Club coach Don Griffith will return to lead the team this season. Practice Information The team will practice on Monday and Thursdays from 8-9:30 pm at Top of the Podium, beginning in early November. Wrestlers can also attend an optional practice on Tuesday afternoons (4:30-6:00) at TOP. Competition Our team competes in the Middle School division of the popular Dulles Duals. These events are held at Top of the Podium on Saturdays throughout the season. We also compete in TOP's Winter Wrestling Series on other Saturdays. Our uniforms consist of fight shorts and compression shirts! We also hope to participate in one or more meets at local high schools, including Potomac Falls, in conjunction with high school varsity matches. Equipment The required equipment for wrestling is a headgear and wrestling shoes. We encourage you to purchase your equipment at TOP OF THE PODIUM Wrestling Center in Sterling. TOP is a local, 501(c)3 nonprofit and prices are usually lower than big box stores. Hours are limited, so email TOP before making the trip. Similar to other sports, the team provides each wrestler with a school compression shirt for competition, but wrestlers will supply their own fight shorts (coaches will provide more information on this). Registration To register for the River Bend team, you must join a local youth wrestling club. We are proud to affiliate with Eastern Loudoun Wrestling Club that serves the Ashburn and Sterling areas.
