DMC Families,

First, I want to apologize for being a bit non-existent over the past month—I appreciate everyone’s patience during a busy stretch. I also want to sincerely thank all of the coaches who have stepped in to run practices and keep things moving—your time and effort are greatly appreciated.

Just a reminder that OWA Freestyle/Greco State is this Saturday and Sunday in Redmond (see attached flyer for details). Good luck to all of our athletes competing!

I’m hoping to make it to the Summit practice tonight depending on La Pine weather for baseball. If I’m unable to make it, I will definitely be at the Mountain View practice tomorrow to pass out shirts.

I can also have singlets available (for anyone needing a red singlet for this weekend) along with some additional DMC swag for purchase if you’re interested.

Let me know if you have any questions—excited for a great weekend of wrestling!

Shaun

DMC January Post-Season Schedule & Tournament Info

As we head into January, we are officially moving into our post-season phase. This is where things tighten up and intensity increases.

Practices (January):
Location: Caldera Mat Room
Days: Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday
Time: 6:15–7:45 PM

These practices will be more intense, with a heavier emphasis on live wrestling and competition rather than instruction. Wrestlers should come ready to push the pace and challenge themselves.

Please be sure to review the flyers posted on the calendar for each event, as they include important details related to weigh-ins, start times, and logistics.

With middle school wrestling starting this week, we want to welcome those wrestlers to continue training with DMC at practices. We certainly expect and encourage them to finish out the kids season while balancing their middle school commitments.

Remaining Tournaments:
• Oregon Classic Qualifier
January 10
Obsidian Middle School
Wrestlers must place top 3 in their bracket to qualify for the Oregon Classic.

• Oregon Classic
January 18
Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center
Wrestlers must compete in the same weight class they qualified at.

• OWA Kids State Championships
January 30 – February 1
Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center
This is not a qualification tournament and is based on age group and weight class.

Please reach out with any questions regarding weight classes, tournament expectations, or post-season readiness. Let’s finish the season strong.

Practice Schedule Correction

After further discussion with the coaches, we will be running one combined practice on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and will move it to the Caldera mat room instead of Mountain View.

Practice time: 6:15–7:45 PM
Location: Caldera Mat Room

This adjustment helps simplify schedules and account for current facility availability as we move through January.

Thanks for everyone’s flexibility and understanding.

Before we jump into scheduling, I want to say how proud we are of everyone who competed at Rumble at the Rock this weekend. The competition was tough across the board, but we’re seeing improvement in every wrestler. Don’t get discouraged — we’ve got a long season ahead and plenty of time to grow.

Practice Schedule Update – First Three Weeks of December
Here’s what the schedule looks like as we move into December:

Week of December 1–5
White & Red Squads (Combined):
Mon & Wed
6:15–7:45 PM
Caldera Mat Room
Black Squad:
Mon, Wed & Thurs
6:15–7:45 PM
Mountain View Mat Room

Everyone is encouraged to come watch the Mountain View Intrasquad Red vs. Black Dual on Tuesday, December 2nd from 6–8 PM.
These events are a great chance for our wrestlers to see high-level wrestling and support the high school program.

Weeks of December 8–12 & December 15–19
White & Red Squads (Combined):
Mon & Wed
6:15–7:45 PM
Caldera Mat Room
Black Squad:
Tues, Wed & Thurs (Back to normal schedule)
6:15–7:45 PM

Important Notes
Schedules may change if space or mats are unavailable due to high school activities.
After the partial season ends on Dec 13, we tentatively plan to hold practices for anyone continuing during holiday break on Mon & Tues at Mountain View, all groups combined.

I’ll keep everyone updated as we get closer. Let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Thanksgiving, DMC Family!

I hope everyone gets a chance to slow down today, enjoy some good food, and spend time with family and friends. I’m really grateful for our wrestlers, parents, coaches, and supporters—this club doesn’t work without all of you.

We’ll be back on the mats tomorrow for practice and then competing Saturday at the Rumble at the Rock. Excited to see our wrestlers get after it this weekend!

Thank you for being part of the DMC family and for everything you do to support these kids.

Happy Thanksgiving!

– Shaun
