Life After Football

Dear HC TERPS Family,

Some of you may be thinking about what to do after the football season ends in a few weeks. As you know, there are many options if your student-athlete wants to continue playing a sport. 

Many of our student-athletes choose to play basketball or wrestle so we are providing details about two programs that you might want to consider.  The Howard County TERPS are not affiliated with either of these two programs:  

• Celebration Church/Columbia Basketball Association (CBA) will be hosting winter travel tryouts on October 14, 15, 28, and 29 from 6-8pm at Cradlerock School.  Tryouts are open to middle school-aged students grades 6-8.  For more information, contact Bernard Durham at 410-491-1863.

 

• Howard County Wrestling, Inc. (HCW) is currently registering student-athletes for their program.  HCW offers clinic, recreation, and travel programs for students ages five through fifteen years old.  For more information, contact Vince Thomas (7-9 HC TERPS National Assistant Coach) at 301-221-9917 or visit their web site at  http://www.howardcountywrestling.com/.  Coach Thomas, who has coached wrestling for more than 7 years, says “Ray Lewis, Warren Sapp and Tony Siragusa were all Super Bowl Champions who were also high school wrestling state champions.”  Coach Thomas is also won a MD state wresting championship at 167lbs waaaaay back in 1982 J
