2012 Senior Dual Team for the ORCA DualsOpen to High School Seniors only March 10, 2012 Welcome Washington Wrestling Supporters!
This event...
A selection committee will be responsible for choosing a high school Senior
wrestler from any size classification for every weight class. A runner-up
and alternate wrestler will also be chosen. The wrestler's respective High
School Coach, Club Coach or parent may accompany their athlete to this event
and be in their corner although they will be on their own for getting there
and covering their costs. Each chosen wrestler is responsible for their own
training and weight management. There may also be mandatory meetings or
practices prior to the event. The team will wrestle a dual with both
California and Oregon.
We are accepting donations and are looking for continued sponsorship to help
with the many costs but each wrestler will be financially responsible for
their food, lodging and fuel. What
ever funds we can raise will be used to reduce the costs of the wrestlers.
Our goal it to have a relatively inexpensive trip that will allow the best
wrestles we have to go. Last year the trip cost each wrestler $150 and
this year we plan on it being less.
We have secured donated singlets to be used
annually by the team and event T-shirts are supplied each year.
We will plan on leaving Friday morning in personal vehicles and are heading to
Ashland, OR where we will stay on Friday and Saturday nights. The return date is Sunday March 13, 2011. The
wrestlers will need to be in the greater Seattle area by Thursday night so
we have as much of the team together the night before. Last year we
had one vehicle leave from Eashtern Washington and pick up Eastside
wrestlers on the way. We will be
arranging host homes or staying with the coaches that night so we know we
are ready to go in the morning. We also will have one Southern
pick up point on I-5 for those that are south of Olympia.
What I am asking for now if for people to help us fund this with individual
donations. I have set up a PayPal online payment service that will
allow people to donate to the team by credit card. We will need to
cover the insurance costs, gas costs, hotel costs and other incidentals like
jackets, etc. We have the opportunity to compete at a high level event
with only minimal costs to the wrestlers and they will only have to miss one
day of school. The more funds we can raise through the PayPal link, or
direct payments by check, the less we will have to charge the wrestlers.
We would like to keep the costs to the wrestlers between $50-100 but to do
that we will need to raise about $1500 dollars to make sure everything is
covered. This is where we are asking the wrestling community to step
up and help us out. Each of the four committee members will be
volunteering their time to arrange and get the team to the event. We
need to cover the rooming expenses for the entire team and coaches.
All individuals will buy their own food on the trip. There are three ways you can
help:
1. Donate $10-49 (or more) by using the following PayPal service.
Just press the button and it will take you to a spot where you can enter
your name and credit card information to make a secure donation to help
offset the team expenses.
2. Buy an advertisement for your company that will be listed specifically on
this particular page. The paid adv will list our commercial sponsors
and will be a legitimate business expense to those that purchase an
advertisement. Contact me directly to ask about how to do the
advertisement.
3. Apply to be a coach/driver for the team. We will be needing 4
SUV type vehicles to carry the wrestlers and coaches to Ashland.
Volunteering to drive your vehicle with 4 wrestlers is a big help and all
the gas is paid for by the team. Contact
Dave Gilbertson if
you would like to apply for that activity.
All help is appreciated and needed. I also need interested wresters to
send in their contact information to me as soon as soon as possible.
My contact info is listed below. I have a number of wrestlers that
have already expressed an interest and we will be needing to put together
our team by mid February. We will be selecting our 14 wrestlers and
then asking them to make a payment to secure their spot. We will also
be selecting a first and second alternate that will need to be ready to go
on short notice if something happens to the first or second choice.
This is a great opportunity to wrestle the top wrestlers from Oregon and
California in a prestigious event. It will also serve as a great
warm-up for those planning on competing at Senior Nationals three weeks later.
We will continue to update this site as more info becomes available. We
would love to hear any ideas or suggestions that would help promote this
amazing opportunity. Please contact us directly at:
Dave Gilbertson email
The selection committee is currently comprised of
Manny Brown, Dave Gilbertson, Greg Michalski and Dave Jedlicka.
