dblearmbar Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Check out this link to find colleges to look at, then find their web sight, contact the coach and send a video. You will have to do more advertising of a female wrestler than the boys do but if you put in the work the rewards are there. http://www.nwcaonline.com/nwcawebsite/womenswrestling/womensfacts.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strub1 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 With women's college wrestling going NAIA next year, we look for more and more colleges to add women's wrestling. The last several years, it has been 1-2 per year adding, but it is more at the 2-3 per year rate. Events are starting to happen at the college level during the same weekends, which means there are plenty of teams to fill the multiple events. This is what I tell and 'preach' over and over to everyone that asks or has a a women involved in wrestling. I tell them that they need to get out there and wrestle as many women events as they can find. Getting the video together and contacting the coaches is great, but all of the coaches want to see them wrestling the big events!! They have no way to gauge them by watching them wrestler against boys, especially in weights above 113. Of course, those that are getting noticed by colleges are the HS age women wrestlers. The need to go to women's events in their state, Folkstyle nationals in OKC, FILA Nationals in Florida, and Cadet/Junior Nationals at Fargo. College women wrestling is Freestyle, so coaches want to see them wrestle Freestyle and Folkstyle. They want to see a long list of events on their resume. Placing at every event is not crucial, it is the time, effort, and drive to want to compete in all of these events that will set them apart and get them notice by college coaches. I am working with our most local college women's teams, Cumberlands and Campbellsville, to be here for the ISWA state events in 2014. You will get a one on one chance to talk to the women's coaches there in your home state. A new program is starting at Eastern Michigan University next year and that college coach is coming down to the War of the Roses women's tournament at East Central in March. Any questions, please ask. Darren Strub ISWA Women's Wrestling Director 513-375-4903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 With any recruiting you need to be proactive. Look into the schools that interest you and then fill out their recruit questionaires and contact the coach. Do not wait for the coach to contact you.
