In order to promote Creekview’s 2010 wrestling team, the coaches have put together the first ever “adopt-a-teacher” program. Each wrestler and manager picked a teacher who they felt would encourage their class to be “the most involved in supporting the team” by attending the wrestling meets. The selected teacher chosen has to get their class to attend at least two of the four home meets. If the teacher agrees to do this, then they will receive a free t-shirt and thirty student admission tickets for each home meet. After the attendance totals are tallied, the class with the highest record at the meets will be rewarded with either a breakfast or pizza party, depending on what time of day the class is held. The rewards are provided by the wrestling team in gratitude for the class’ participation and support.
This program has been used in a couple of high schools in Cherokee County by assistant wrestling Coach Judkins and has become a success.
“Being the first year, there is obviously some trepidation as to how the program works from both staff and wrestlers but in past years, there has been tremendous feedback from everyone involved.”
Coaches and wrestlers are both excited to start the new tradition at Creekview and hope to see more people attending the wrestling meets in turn.
The dates of the home wrestling meets are 12/8, 1/5, 1/19, and 2/2. Tickets for the students in the chosen class are free, which is even more of an incentive to go out and cheer on the wrestlers.
