Deadline For FALL Membership Applications & More Wrestling News

FALL Board meeting

The deadline for your application for membership in "The FALL" for the 2016-17 season is tomorrow - Friday, October 21. Payment is quickest and easiest through our online payment portal. You can also do it by mailing in your payment and application.

Remember you can also make donations or buy merchandise from "The FALL" at the portal. Once you are there, just scroll down the page below the membership option buttons to see what else is available. You can always find a link to the portal on the right side of this page under "Links".

 Why so early when the home opener is still a month away? Well, if we can get the bulk of the memberships in right now, it gives the FALL Board members time to print out the ID badges and get them all put together and mail them out to you in advance of the season. It saves a lot of work and time waiting in lines either before the meets in the lobby of Gill, or at the Socials in Reser following the meets.

We can always accept applications later, but it is far less efficient. This year we want to try mailing the ID badges out before the home schedule starts. You can then bring your badges along with you. If you need a new lanyard, just present your ID badge and a Board member can help you. 2016-17 lapel pins are still in process so will not be available until the New Year. They will be handed out later to members.
