YorktownPatriot Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 We have a few wrestlers in the Pee Wee to Intermediate levels where the club coach will not be present at Freestyle State, how is it possible for a person to coach a 5, 6, 7 or 8 old without a Copper certification?

CoachRyan_Delta Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Now I'm kind of upset that I already have my copper cert... I'd love to show you up on the "good looking" front! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my3sons Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 My understanding with most clubs during the freestyle season is that you are on your on at tournaments. Also that thier are different coaches with every club. Some clubs only have 2 or 3 coaches and others have 4 or more. All you need to do is let your coach know that you are coming up on a certain mat and he would be happy to help. Their are alot of parents that have been helping coaches also that can help in this also. ALL TOU NEED TO DO IS ASK. Everyone knows that the coaches can not make it to all the tournaments thru the state. Good luck at the tournaments you go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option, ask the table help to move ahead in the bouts if your coach is coaching on another mat and you are called. Most schools are more than happy to do this becauase they understand that a young kid should not be uncoached... he/she won't learn anything that way. Other schools just want to "get through" the matches (yes, I had table help tell me that very recently) and won't wait. I refer to these schools as evil. But just asking doesn't hurt.

my3sons Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You are correct and alot of places don't want to wait, but also the kid should be able to wait for his coach. If I understand right, the state tournaments will not start your match untill you have a coach present. I feel that all club tournaments should be ran the same way.
