COLORADO COACH- FALL 2018 FROM THE SPORT PRESIDENTS UPDATES from the Sport Presidents WRESTLING President Tom Galicia Wrestling coaches and wrestling fans, We are about to head into another wrestling season now that all the summer off- season work is in the bag and some of you are still preparing for the 2018- 2019 season with your open gyms. We should be set for a very exciting and action-packed season this year with top teams reloading and pushing their teams to make a run for a team title. It will also be fun to watch each of the individual wrestlers defend their state titles in each of their respective divisions. We also want to watch the other wrestlers trying to move up on the podium or set their feet on the podium for the first time. Then to top it off we are in for a special treat, as we have four individual seniors wrestling to become one of Colorado’s elite by becoming a four-time state champion. Andrew Alerez; Greeley West, Theorius Robinson; Pomona, Cohlton Schultz; Ponderosa, Brendon Garcia; Pueblo County Good Luck to All! Our coaches clinic will be held at Rangeview High School on October 19 and 20th. For more information please feel free to contact me, Tom Galicia 720- 839-7301. Good luck and stay healthy, we will see you throughout the season. TENNIS President Diane Wolverton Hello! Fall tennis is coming to a close on the regular season as I write this and teams are excitedly looking forward to Regional and State tennis. It has been a beautiful fall, albeit a very hot one! With everything going on in my world of coaching, I am looking toward our February 16-17, 2019 USPTA/High School Coaching Clinic, at Lifetime Tennis in Centennial, Colorado! Last year we brought back breakfast with coffee, which many of you traveling in that morning, had requested. I’m looking for more feedback to make this event tailored to you and your needs. What can we add? What could we remove? Would you like more vendors? More samples in your welcome bags? The nomination committee for coaches met and we are very interested in receiving more names of coaches we can nominate for our various awards! What we need is for your league czar/president, of your sport, to send your Coach of the Year name to your CHSCA sport president, and we will take it from there! Please email it to your sport president as you elect this coach. Do you need your sports president’s name? Find it below!
