Bulldog Nation is proud to announce the addition of Coach Charles Fox to our middle school wrestling staff. Coach Fox is no stranger to our program as he has volunteered for several years. Now, he will be working alongside Coach Josh Poahway to direct our middle school girls wrestling team. Learn more about Coach Fox below!

It was such a pleasure to be a volunteer assistant with the wrestling program this past season. Being part of such a historic year for Cache Women's Wrestling, the crowning of the school’s first State Champion, and overall growth of the program has been a tremendous honor. So I am excited to take on this new role. I have been involved with the sport since I was twelve years old, and have spent the last three years coaching for the Cache Wrestling Club. Last year I operated as the program director and head coach, running the program with my wife Julie. I am the father of six children, four currently in the Cache school system. Freshman Ania-Maelynn, eighth grader Tiana , fifth grader Charles II, and 2nd grader Jaeden . I am excited to be part of this school system in this new role and am committed to being a positive part of !

The school year is approaching rapidly so here is some more important information about the weightlifting club:

1. If your child is participating in any team sports they may not participate in the weightlifting club at the same time as their school sport. However, they may still register and have their name on file for when they finish their sport. While these sports are not school sanctioned sports, they still are physically and mentally demanding sports. If your child is in a sport that does not require a high physical demand then there may be an exception. If your child is not in any athletics or athletic development classes, then they may be in the weightlifting club year round.

2. Staff and faculty may also sign up for the weightlifting club! Depending on the numbers, there may be an opportunity for community members interested in competing to be able to join. However, that will be decided in the future as I am trying to get the club up and going.

3. While competition is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged! There are age and weight divisions to ensure fair opportunity for ALL who wish to compete.

4. Weightlifting club hours will be from 4-5:30pm Monday-Thursday. Hours are subject to change and sessions are subject to cancel. My schedule will be packed during wrestling season. However, the only thing changing is the time and days.

5. For those who are interested in competing, there will be equipment lists, qualifying totals, and federation information given to you.

There will be constant updates on many things on this page so be sure to stay updated with the page or contact me directly if you have any questions.

Hello everyone, it’s Coach Poahway here! I am starting a lifting club at Cache. Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues powerlifting will not be available as a Varsity sport and will be considered club lifting until further notice. Also, Olympic-style Weightlifting is not a sanctioned varsity sport in Oklahoma at the moment, so it will also be considered a club sport. Club lifting will take place year round and schedules will be posted. Here is some important information:

1. Olympic lifting and powerlifting is very safe. I am a certified Olympic weightlifting coach (USAW-L1) and I have been competitively powerlifting for over 3 years now. Fun fact: I hold the NPL Drug-tested Bench press state record in the 20-23 year old 242lb weight class with a 413.4lb bench press! I have tons of experience and knowledge in this field and can ensure that best practices take place.

2. The powerlifting federation we are going to be lifting in is the NPL (National Powerlifting League). This league provides a lot of opportunity to lift locally and is operated by outstanding people! The organization for Olympic-style lifting is going to be USA Weightlifting.

3. The NPL Teen membership costs 25$ a year and the USAW youth membership costs $55 for the first year and 65$ for the following years. This is not including travel costs, meet costs, and gear costs which will be discussed in the future.

4. Adults that want to compete may reach out. However, this club is for Cache youth-high school aged children only until further notice. We can discuss other opportunities for you to compete!

5. There will be opportunity to compete nationally!

I will continue to post information to ensure that everyone is up to date and educated on all of these topics. I am super excited to provide an opportunity for more kids to not only compete in lifting, but build a life long love for lifting so that they carry these healthy habits into adulthood! Please feel
Free to ask any questions as this was just an introduction post! I will have the training days and schedule posted when that becomes determined! If you are interested in signing your child up please feel free to reach out!
