  •  Who: All Wrestlers -- this is our last regular Saturday TCJWL meet
NOTE:  If you are not able to attend Saturday please contact John Caiafa (CaiafaJ@dnb.com) and CC: dave@ridgewoodwrestling.org as early as possible so we can notify the other programs.  This will allow us to avoid scheduling matches for kids who are not going to be there.

Schedule Changes & Conflicts
As you know, fields, gyms, and other resources are used by a number of organizations which can create a strain on scheduling.  High School and Middle School organizations will always take precedence over our Junior program, which frequently means we must adjust our schedule -- sometimes at the last minute.  
 
We always try to communicate these changes as quickly and accurately as possible, but sometimes we will fall short.  RJW would like to apologize for the ever-changing schedule, and for the times we have not managed to effectively communicate those changes in a timely manner.  We appreciate your understanding and patience.
