D.Schjoll Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 This is great news that the ISWA is doing this. I see you are requesting interested wrestlers info but there used to be a qualifier, did they do away with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyb Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 This is great news that the ISWA is doing this. I see you are requesting interested wrestlers info but there used to be a qualifier, did they do away with that? The qualifier was great. With this said, we are trying to find the best and most COST effective way to form the best teams possible. This will be the first year with the ISWA "offically" on board. We would like to lay the ground work so that when these youth wrestlers get to be Schoolboys, Cadets, and Juniors they will have many years wrestling in this type of tournament and the overall level of Indiana wrestling will be elevated.

D.Schjoll Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Sounds great , I know Iowa always sends 3 teams as well usually the champion in each weight class on 1 team, runner up on team 2, and a younger group 3rd and 4th grades for the third team. Iowa usually is one of the most competitive teams down there. I thought the qualifier was also used to raise money for the team(s) that we sent those years using the qualifier. However it works out best of luck to all involved and thanks for helping Indiana wrestling grow. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it works out best of luck to all involved and thanks for helping Indiana wrestling grow. ;D The goal is to do it like Iowa. Inviting the top 2 or 3 kids in each weight (from Folkstyle State Results) to a camp and have team leaders select the best fit for the team to build the best Indiana team not to have talented kids on 3 different teams. Team 1 - Champion or Runner-up (5th or 4th Grader) Team 2 - Runner-up or 3rd Placer (5th-3rd Grader) Team 3 - Younger Group (2nd, 3rd, 4th Graders) If any top 8 State Placer would like to be consider or invited to camp for the team please email me at danny@contenderswrestling.com and Matt Brewer at mbrewer@eliteindy.com with current weight, grade, DOB. Also we are looking for coaches (3 per team) and team leaders (1 per team) if your interested plus shot us a email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of this said, there maybe a second year Novice (who still is a 5th grader) that has a finish lower then a kid that was a intermediate. If the Novice wrestler beats the Intermediate in a wrestle off, then they get the nod. We want the very best team possible. We will be making a list of potential team members over the next few weeks. We will then select a handful from each weight class to attend a selection camp. With this said, it is very difficult to know which Novices are in the 5th grade and were born in 2000 or after. We will need all of your help to ID these kids. You can email us or see me this weekend in Michigan, the following weekend in Columbus, or at Dixie Duals in Atlanta. You can see Danny in Michigan this weekend or Virgina in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyb Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Within the first few days of this post we have had 15 ISWA state champs, and several state placers respond. Many of the past and present youth team leaders have been in contact. Respose has been VERY positive. Lets get this thing going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
