COACH RANDY MCLEMORE joined CCW in 2000 and became head coach in 2002.  He established the 501 c 3 status and incorporation to help build the youth club and help those under-privileged youth who wanted to learn the sport of wrestling.   His wrestlers come as far as Marble Falls, Lago Vista, Leander, Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Georgetown.  He stresses the importance of learning the fundamentals of wrestling at his club.  Once the wrestler has some experience and expresses an interest in advancing their technical skills he enjoys showing them a variety of pinning combinations.  He started coaching with Scott Norton, founder of CCWC, in downtown Austin at the School for the Deaf and later Crockett High School.  Many of those youth wrestlers are now in high school or college.  His favorite saying during wrestling season; "there isn't a horse that can't be rode or a man that can't be thrown."  Translation: Always believe in yourself and your ability but not so much that you overlook your opponent.
