On the horizon ... a Bronze clinic in Clearwater in January ... one in Ottawa ... our last chance in Salina! Also Coach Bill Johnson usually does one in Norton!!

We need a few clubs to step up and offer to host a clinic! Requirements for hosting: a suitable (multi-media) classroom for about 7-hours. A willingness to provide refreshments and a light meal.

Tips: If you are within 75-100 miles of a planned clinic, don't wait for one closer!! Our last chance clinic is usually the Sunday of the seeding meetings in Salina!!

Plan ahead ... lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on ours!

There are a couple of basic requirements if you wish to attend a Bronze Clinic. I have copied what can be found under to coaches tab for your convenience!


Coaches are required to complete a background check every two years. Before issuing a current coaches' card, your club will require you to provide proof that you have passed the background check. The cost of the background check is $17. Here are the instructions on what you need to do to complete your background check:

1.
Go to www.usawmembership.com.

2.
Sign in or create a new account.

3.
Click 'Profile' in the upper right corner of the screen and choose 'BG Check History' near the top of the screen. Please note that you will be required to use a different user id and password in the background check website - do not try to use your USA Wrestling user id and password.

4.
After completing the background check, do not attempt to purchase a membership online. This feature is disabled for Kansas coaches.

5.
After the background check is complete you will receive an email notice indicating whether or not you have successfully passed the background check. Provide this confirmation notice to the club director, who will then be able to purchase your coaches' membership from the state office.

How long do you have to send in your test after you have taken it?

Reminder: There is a Bronze clinic this Sunday the 5th of December in Iola!

Also, there is one in the works for Sublette, probably January 16th!!

Great News!! Just released a Bronze clinic in Southwest Kansas. On January 2nd 2011 we will be offering a clinic in Sublette, Kansas!!

Mark your calendars ... this is the only "planned" Bronze offering in this part of the State!!

We will post the exact location in Sublette when we get it!!

Thanks to the Sublette Wrestling Club for making this happen!!!

Hey Randy,

We have a new coach that became bronze certified last year online, but can't remember for sure what the website was. He thought the site was out of Colorado.

Can you shed some lite on this?

The "on-line" course is offered by USA Wrestling for coaches that have genuine trouble getting to a "in-person" clinic!

In Kansas, this is practically NEVER a problem!

The "in-person" clinic in many's estimation is MUCH superior to the net one!

themat.com has a few offering throughout the year and is also a higher priced clinic!

We had 37 coaches in the clinic at STA!! I had a great time meeting and sharing with all of you!

Sunday, January 2 is the clinic in Sublette!! Let's get signed up for this!!

Hello Hello ... All you coaches that need your Bronze card in Southwest Kansas!!

January 2, 2011 in Sublette we are holding a clinic!!

Sign up!!

We had 17 coaches Sunday the 2nd in Sublette ... I was a bit dismayed when I got a call from Hugoton on Monday, wanting to know when we would be back!!

Soon to be announced will be a Bronze clinic in Norton with Coach Bill Johnson! That will be January 23rd!

We still need someone in the Wichita area to step up and offer to host!

Just confirmed! Central Kansas has two clinics scheduled for January 23rd ... one in Norton and one in Wellington!

I was told today that the clinic set for Burlington on Jan 30th will be held at the Burlington Public Library!!

Also on the calendar is our Last Chance clinic in Salina on March 6th!

Randy - I attended the clinic at STA and promptly returned my test. How do I check status on my Bronze card?

send me a PM!

Great opportunity upcoming in Norton and Wellington!! Let the clinicians know you are coming!

Then the 30th in Burlington!

In the works, one in February somewhere probably in Topeka!

Then the last chance clinic on March 6th in Salina!

Do you have any more information on the Wellington Clinic?
