We still need 2 teams for this MS tournament... We currently have District 3 teams from Berks County and a few District 1 teams form Chester County.  This would be a great tournament for your MS wrestlers and It is in Elverson PA so it is within an hour from Philly and less than an hour from all of its suburbs.

Contact Shawn if you are interested...

Hi all,

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our wrestling friends! I am sending out a urgent request that you read this email...

As many of you know TV HS wrestling was defunded 4 years ago by the TVSD... The Raider Mat Club picked up full financial responsibility for our HS program along with some financial responsibility for our MS Program (without a HS program no need for a MS or youth program)! We all love this sport but there is a trend throughout the state to cut money from wrestling, Philly funds NO HS wrestling, now programs are 100% funded by "beat the streets Philly" http://www.btsphilly.org/2010-2011_sponsored_teams.aspx
We have already had contraction in our league over the last few years with Fleetwood joining OV 2 seasons ago. The problem is when that happens the effected area sees a big drop in their youth programs if not cancelation of a youth program, and it starts a vicious circle for not only the school but for the league and the sport in the league, county and District. Just ask the wrestlers in Philly!

As you all also know, raising finances for a youth program is difficult on its own, so if you add to that the financial responsibility for all of a HS program and a large contribution to a MS program you can imagine how much work we must to do at the RMC to keep this program afloat and thriving from K-12!

Our biggest fundraising opportunities are our k-6, MS and HS duals. Without success in them, another program bites the dust! Most School Boards and superintendents could care less! But we as wrestling fans should!
The Raider MS duals are on Dec 14th and currently can guarantee 5 matches per team, with 3 district 1 schools attending, please pass this info along to your MS teams! Please consider joining us!!!!

Mark "Tuna" Colantuno
VP RMC
Assistant wrestling coach TV HS
