Last year we had 3,937 wrestlers sign up for subs. This year we have 3,674. That is a loss of 263 wrestlers! Heck that is the size of some novice tournaments! If your business lost 263 customers year over year or your profits declined by 7% I guarantee you that would be your highest priority. Folks, we have to start thinking outside of the box and come up with ideas that will invite MORE participation. This year we have to select the site and date for the next three state tournaments. If we are going to shorten the season, remove 16, add 6, or do anything we need to start figuring it out NOW or next year we might be looking at only 3,400 wrestlers. If your current leadership is not getting it done be it at the club, district, or state level it is time to figure out who can make a difference.
