Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider

Watched this a few days ago. It's good family friendly holiday fare with lessons about winning, losing and forgiveness. The plot was a little slow for the first half and picked up nicely in the second half. The match at the end was really well choreographed. Correct rules, correct points, correct names given to various moves. Actors who clearly put in the work to learn how to move like wrestlers. I hate it when movies get those kinds of details wrong and you go, um, that's not how wrestling works. But in this case they got it mostly right and helped make it entertaining for people who actually know the sport! 

Here is a novel concept, let's not force the kids to shake hands with all the coaches, refs, table help, and everyone there.

I like the idea of 15, but adding it to the middle of the lineup.
106, 113, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 170,182, 195, 220, 285

I only have one knock on year round wrestling. Leadership skills are lost through the process (FOR THE MOST PART). It is the fact that year-round wrestling integrates a singular mindset into that wrestler, meaning they only care about their performance and not too much about their teammates' performance. Dedicating all of the hard work in the off season to their own skills sort of creates a mindset of "ONLY ME & MY WRESTLING MATTERS!" I feel that this then limits the leadership skills of these wrestlers who should be able to lead their teams during the season. I've seen this first hand at many of the programs I've been involved with. It isn't a huge or terrible deal that these guys aren't necessarily the best leaders of their teams, I just kind of get let down when the best wrestlers in the room only care about themselves and not the overall betterment of the squad. 

Western advances 14 to the Peru Regional. 

The amount of moves that you can hit as a big guy is much more limited and the room for error is much smaller for big guys. It is much easier to get off your back when you have a 106lber on you than someone weighing 250lbs. Again the nuances of the sport between each end of the weight spectrum are what make this sport great. It's just like saying the linemen in football are just big fat ogres and we could do away with them.
Our weight classes are what make this sport so great, eliminating them at either end is a bad idea.

Heckuva match, next weekend oughta be great
 

Jared McKinleys (Perry) headlock in the 2012 state finals against Josh Kieffer (roncalli) I'm not a headlock guy but that was one of the meanest headlocks I've ever seen. 

Absurd the kid went out to wrestle and he wrestled if the guy was cutting him and getting takedowns so be it as long as it's not letting the kid off of his back which is a violation this should not ever be a warning given to a wrestler 

Great points made in nearly all the above posts.  I would only add that strictly from a legality standpoint......private sessions are in fact legal. This came from Assistant Commisioner Robert Faulkens himself, in a response to an email our AD & I sent.  He paralleled privates (paid) to more of a clinic.  Obviously no other athletes from separate schools can be involved, the clinician can have no direct contract or be coaching at another in-state high school, and also that you can't have the individual instructing multiple kids at once.  He referred us to rule 15-1.4.  It states........
a. Students may not attend a non-school sponsored clinic in a team sport, but may attend a non-school sponsored clinic in an individual sport (note: wrestling is considered an individual sport).

b. If a clinic is conducted over more than 1 day, students will be limited to 3 hours of sports instruction or daily practice.

c. a Clinic must be conducted during non-school time and no school practices or contests may be missed.
 
Apart from answering the "legal" aspect of your question.  Certain preferences come into play with various coaches.  In fact, I know of a couple coaches who prefer their kids train absolutely nowhere else!  And yes....that includes the off-season. While that wouldn't be the right fit for me personally.......I can tell you this.  Those guys resume's speak for themselves. They've produced (or helped produce) multiple State Champs.  I'd simply encourage you to hit all the angles with the current coach.  Allow him to thoroughly explain himself to you in person.  Not saying this is the case.....but I've found that in many cases the greatest problems between Coaches/Parents/Wrestlers come down to an overall lack of communication. Genuinely hope things work out positively for you & your son brother. 

Not understanding how the 2 lb allowance and additional allowances for missing practices due to school closures affect minimum weights is misunderstood by many coaches and refs, even though there is a very concise example in the rule book. Don't feel alone

I'm glad NCAA sold their souls to flo so now all content can be locked behind pay walls. Thanks for promoting the sport Flo, I don't know why anybody would use Flo @Y2CJ41
