📣 PRAIRIE HEIGHTS WRESTLING OCTOBER UPDATE! 🤼
Welp… October is here, which means we are officially entering the “there is something wrestling-related happening basically every week” portion of the year. So SAVE THIS CALENDAR. Screenshot it. Send it to Grandma. Put it on the fridge. Heck, make it your phone background if you have to. 😂 October is BUSY and we want everybody along for the ride!
October is a BIG month for PH Wrestling: open mats, concessions, pork burgers, our biggest fundraiser of the year AND our girls officially starting their season!! 👀🔥
🍔 FUNDRAISING + VOLUNTEERING… BUT ALSO JUST COME HANG OUT WITH US!
Yes, these events are fundraisers. Yes, we need people to work. Yes, there will probably be an unreasonable number of pork burgers involved. 😂
But we want these events to be about more than just filling volunteer spots.
We want our wrestlers AND their families there.
Come work a shift with your kid. Wrestlers, work alongside your teammates. Parents, come meet the other parents you’re about to spend A LOT of time sitting next to in gyms for the next several months. 😂 Hang out. Laugh. Get to know each other. Build relationships outside of the wrestling room.
Because as individual as wrestling can sometimes seem when it’s one kid standing out there on that mat… WRESTLING IS STILL FAMILY. ❤️🖤
And we want to keep building that family at Prairie Heights.
PLUS there’s another pretty awesome perk:
💰 Both wrestlers AND their parents can earn credit toward that wrestler’s individual wrestling expenses by working!
Those credits can help with things like camps, warm-ups, gear and other individual needs throughout the season.
So if Mom works — credit.
Dad works — credit.
Wrestler works — credit.
You all come work together? EVEN BETTER. 🙌
Not just because of the credit, but because THAT is the kind of involvement we want to see around this program! We know everyone is busy. We know our wrestlers are involved in other sports, parents have jobs and even most kids have jobs, families have schedules and nobody can make every single thing.
We don’t expect you to.
But when you CAN be there, come be part of it! We’re actually pretty darn fun!! 🤩
We’d love to see these fundraisers turn into something our kids actually look forward to.. hanging out with teammates, giving Coaches a hard time 😂, meeting other wrestling families and having some fun while we’re getting the job done!

🍔 OCTOBER 2: PORK BURGER TIME!
Another Friday night under the lights means PH Wrestling is back at the pork burger stand!
🏈 PH vs. Central Noble
⏰ Game starts at 7 PM
Grab a shift and come hang out with us!
🏈 OCTOBER 6: MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL CONCESSIONS
Wrestlers helping need to meet Coach Forbes at the concession stand at 5 PM.
Game starts at 5:30 PM!
And then we’ve got the BIG ONE…
🍔🍔 OCTOBER 11: HERITAGE FESTIVAL! 🍔🍔
Our BIGGEST pork burger fundraiser of the year!
This one takes a village, so we’d LOVE to see wrestlers, parents and families grabbing shifts and helping us make it another successful year.
There are different shifts available, so grab one that works for you, come sling some burgers, earn some credit, hang out with your wrestling family and then go enjoy the festival!
🤼 NOW FOR THE ACTUAL WRESTLING PART OF OUR WRESTLING POST… 😂
Open mats continue Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6:00–7:30 PM for grades 5–12 through October 15!
And don’t forget… BRING. A. FRIEND.
Know somebody who has talked about wrestling? Bring them.
Never wrestled before? Come try it!
Help us keep getting new kids in the room and GROW THIS PROGRAM! ❤️🖤
⚠️ 5–8TH GRADERS: OCTOBER 15 IS YOUR LAST OPEN MAT!
Get that mat time in while you can!
After October 15, open mats continue for our high school boys as shown on the calendar.
AND THENNNNN…
🚨🤼♀️ OCTOBER 19: GIRLS WRESTLING OFFICIALLY BEGINS!! 🤼♀️🚨
No more “season is almost here.”
IT. IS. HERE. 🔥
Girls practice begins October 19 and runs Monday–Friday from 3:30–6:00 PM.
We are READY to get these girls back in the room! ❤️🖤
📱 And as always — COMMUNICATION!
Schedules get crazy. Kids are in multiple sports. Families have things come up. Life happens!
Coach Forbes just asks that wrestlers communicate. If something changes, say something. If you can’t make something, let Coach know. If you have a question, ASK.
⭐️And keep those SportsYou notifications ON for updates and changes!
October is going to be BUSY…
But it’s the GOOD kind of busy. 😎
More kids in the room.
More families getting involved.
More time together.
Girls season starting.
Boys season right around the corner.
And a WHOLE lot of pork burgers. 😂🍔
We’re not just trying to build better wrestlers, we’re trying to build a program these kids AND their families want to be part of! Because when one of our wrestlers steps onto that mat, they may wrestle the match alone… but they sure as hell don’t get there alone. ❤️🖤
LET’S HAVE A BIG OCTOBER, PANTHERS!! 🐾🤼
