October 2018 DGS Wrestling Update

Even though we are in the pre-season, there is A LOT going on in and around the Downers Grove South Wrestling program in October.  Please take a look at the following updates and initiatives as we lead up to the 2018-2019 DGS Wrestling season which starts on Monday, November 5th.

PRE-SEASON TEAM/GEAR SHOP OPEN
We will once again be using Go Earn It (GEI) for our team/gear shop.  The pre-season shop has already opened and will close at the end of 10/14.  Gear ordered now will be delivered in time for the season.  We will open up the shop again once the season has started, but there is no guarantee that gear will arrive by Christmas.
