samaj Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 What clubs are planning on hosting Elementary Duals this year? If you are, and if you have a date, in mind, please post that also. I know the bid meeting is coming up. I'm sure that other clubs, like ourselves, are trying to get some type of schedule figured out and this would be very helpful info. We want to compete in 1 in novemeber, 2 in december, and 2 in january if possible. We would like to host one in Evansville but it seems that most clubs do not want to travel this far south to compete.

Jacob Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have never really thought about it much but why is all the emphasis put on elementary duals? Why don`t we see more middle school duals outside of the school settings? Could someone enlighten me please? T-Bones Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bones Dad I think that most kid get the chance to wrestle in dual tournaments in middle school on their middle school teams. Before the ISWA started having elementary duals the elementary school kids did not have a chance to wrestle in a dual tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I figured that was probably it. I do think it would be nice to have some middle school duals leading into the season. There are a lot of schools who do not take wrestling as a serious sport at the middle school level. I personally feel that anything you do should be done to the best of your ability. Otherwise, it is a waste of both the coaches and the kids time. If we have kids who want to wrestle seriously, lets give them a platform to do so. Why not have some middle school duals.

Jacob Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I am not sure, new coach this year. Coach Burkett. Supposedly wrestled at Penn State. You can enquire at Franklin Twp. Middle School East. You could also check at FC west. I know Travis talked to him and he will be doing things a lot differant than how things were done last year. Coach Schmalls is coming back as well. The combination of these two is very promising. Actually looking forward to some tough practices. I am not sure of the spelling of his name. I am sure your coach can get him at the school. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
