I have made my way down there to it twice. SEE SOME OF THE BENEFITS IN THE ATTACHED EMAIL BELOW. NWCA is who does the fighting for us on a national level. They are the ones responsible for all the colleges picking up wrestling over the past 10-15 years. Support them as you can!!!

I am certain that many of the high school wrestling coaches in Indiana will benefit greatly by being part of the NWCA. Attached is the PDF version of our membership application and here is the online link to our membership application: http://nwcaonline.com/membershipapplication_2015.pdf Here are some of our primary benefits: 1.

Recognized as a valued leader in helping the NWCA advance the mission of wrestling through the establishment of new college programs, coaching education and betterment of the sport. 6. We can provide a high school coach with training and access to college coaching positions (i.e. CEO Leadership Academy that you attended) We will be launching a “members only portal” in December and it will include the following benefits: a. Wrestling statistics / trending b. Coaching education content (we will have lesson plans for an entire season for youth, middle school, and high school in mid October) c. Blog / Social media d.

Your humble servant, Mike Mike Moyer Executive Director National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) PO Box 254 Manheim, PA 17545 Phone: 717-653-8009 Cell: 717.330.2123 www.nwcaonline.com NWCA Products & Services Facebook Twitter Sent from my iPhone On Jul 27, 2014, at 10:29 PM, "Mike Moyer" <mmoyer@nwca.cc<mailto:mmoyer@nwca.cc>> wrote: All, I hope you are enjoying the growing excitement as another NWCA convention rapidly approaches. That said, I wanted to see if I can gently twist your arms into providing some great content for two coaching development courses we are re-launching: • Best Practices for Improving the Recruitment & Retention of Wrestlers (ages 6-12) • Best Practices for Improving the Recruitment & Retention of Wrestlers (ages 13-18) The need for these two online courses is greater than ever when you consider the following: 1. High school participation has dropped for 2 consecutive years 2. Approximately 29% of individual high school dual meet matches are forfeits 3. The average roster size of a high school team is 26 today vs 37 in the 1970s. 4. Research shows that approximately 75% of kids who play youth sports do not participate past the age of 13. These trends are not unique to wrestling. There is more sport specialization going on at earlier ages, there are more sports/activities for kids to participate in, and we have fewer coaches who work in the schools (it’s tougher for the community coach to recruit out of the hallways like the teacher coach. With all that said, everyone on this email distribution list has either proven that you can have healthy roster numbers despite the enrollment at your schools and/or some of you have unique research expertise that would be compelling for coaches, parents, and wrestlers to hear/see. So, I wanted to see if we could pull each of you aside for 20 minutes or so at the convention to ask you a series of questions that pertain to this topic. Ted Witulski, former Coaching Development director at USA Wrestling has agreed to do the interviews. If you are comfortable sharing your expertise, please respond via email to Ted Witulski (cc’d above) and he will call or text you to try to set up a convenient time. Thank you so very much for your consideration of this request and I promise I won’t ask for another favor for at least 3 more days. Sincerely, Mike Mike Moyer Executive Director National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) PO Box 254 Manheim, PA 17545 Phone: 717-653-8009 Cell: 717.330.2123
