Clay - Chalkville just completed its fourteenth year as a school. We are
located 15 miles northeast of the city of Birmingham, just off I - 59 north.
Our school is 6A (the largest classification) and has 1250 students. Our
first year as a school we competed in the 5A classification and finished
sixth in the state tournament with Dusty Washburn (135 lb.) becoming the
first student to win a State Championship at Clay-Chalkville HIgh. In 2010
we finished 10th in the State Tournament. We had six wrestlers qualify for
the State Tournament and three of the wrestlers placed. We had a State
Champion (Adam Wright), a third place finisher (Ashton Jones), and a sixth
place finisher (Trey Belvin). Five of the six wrestlers scored points for the
team and all five return next year.
The spring of 2010 will se us moveinto our new state of the art wrestling
room at the Middle School, our future looks to be bright.

Interested In Becoming Part of Clay’s Winning Tradition?
Without a doubt, wrestling is a unique sport. It's one of the few sports that is truly democratic --
where the small guy's contribution counts as much to the team's success as the big guy's
contribution. It's six minutes of all-out effort and excitement. It's a blend of both a one-on-one,
mano-a-mano sport -- as well as a team sport. Coach Robertson’s team is coming along very
nicely again this year. However, more depth is needed in a number of weight classes. The team
would welcome you with open arms.
What's in it for you?
Many things. You'll get in great shape. You'll make friends in all grade levels. You'll have fun.
You'll learn some important lifetime values, like how commitment, dedication, and hard work pay
off in attaining your goals in life. You'll be part of a long and very distinguished winning tradition at
Clay Chalkville. Wrestling has one of the best overall records of any male Clay Chalkville sports.
If interested, there are several things you can do. For one, you can talk to anyone on the wrestling
team. Look them up on the team roster at the team website. They'd be happy to talk to you about
wrestling. You can also stop by the small gym after school, anytime during the months of
November and December. Watch a practice. Give it a test drive! You can also click below on
"SEND COACH AN E-MAIL". Coach "Robo" would be happy to talk with you about wrestling. Don't
be shy! Give wrestling a try!

CLAY-CHALKVILLE WRESTLING PHILOSOPHY Our objective is to bring the best in young people and develop character. All areas of championship wrestling will be covered; sportsmanship, positive mental attitude, and doing your best as at all times. The Clay-Chalkville wrestling program will focus on the student athlete first and winning second. The student athlete's performance on and off the mat is our main concern. Wrestling plays an educational part in the development of a boy. The fundamental ingredient that every successful wrestler must acquire, and that has great carry-over value after his student days is self-discipline, from self-discipline will stem self-confidence. The Clay-Chalkville wrestling progra.m and coaching staff's long-term goal is to produce dedicated athletes. Dedicated athletes do not break training rules or school regulations. They are goal oriented (both individual and team); punctual for practices, meetings, and matches; conscientious about practice attendance; and responsible students. OUR MAIN PRIORITY IS BUILDING CHAMPIONS ON AND OFF THE MAT |
| BOOSTER CLUB MEETINGS ARE THE FIRST TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH. MEETINGS ARE HELD UPSTAIRS IN THE FIELD HOUSE. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL, OUR PROGRAM, AND OUR BOOSTER CLUB. |
