We already have a series that brings great kids to a series of tounaments. Wrestling season Some weekends are tougher than others? Everybody knows in the past the tougher tournaments Salina, Park City, Hays, Maize etc. We all go and every year we go hoping to do well like everyone else. What are you changing by calling a group of tournaments a series? You want some these tournaments to agree to this so you can create some sort of award? Being lucky enough to place of even win is enough of an award for us, especilly at these bigger tournaments. Now if your goal is to get these tournaments to work together so we don't have conflicting dates ie. Hays and Park City. Couldn't that be solved with a couple of phone calls? Wouldn't tournament directors want to get the best bang for there buch. But as we said before in this forum if Park City and Hays were on differnt days can Either place hold the capasities it might generate?

As coaches you want to make Kansas wrestling better continue your wrestling education. Go to clinics support camps and summer wrestling Get your kids involved in in summer wrestling Freestyle Greco. Teach you wrestlers to admire and inspire others by continuing to enjoy the sport year round. the other states that were always talking about Kansas is behind are the same states that start in oct have state in feb. And Freestyle and greco til april. And on any day of summer wrestling practice in OK, mo. Go in there and count the kids not busting thier butts but keeping it fresh and having a blast wrestling year round. We have practice every thursday optional And 1 Sunday a mounth for six hours the parents bbq and the kids take several breaks and have fun enjoying the time with all thier friends and team mates. Thats the key to making Kansas a better wrestling state
