MEET INFORMATION
We are a part of a league called Chesterfield/Hopewell Youth
Wrestling League. There are 9 teams in our league this year:
Clover Hill, Colonial Heights, Dale, Dinwiddie, Hopewell,
Matoaca, Prince George, Smackdown (Hanover), New Kent,
and North Chesterfield. Our league meets are held each
Sunday starting in January and going through February. They
are held at Matoaca High School. At these meets your
children will be paired by age and weight so they wrestle
someone close to their age and size. Peewee, Bantams, and
Midgets (see below) should be in the gym by
12:30. Novices and Schoolboys should be in the gym by 2:30.
Wear your team T-Shirts, singlets and bring headgear.
