I agree with you Patrick but what if they don't even go to tournaments to coach. That leaves you with no one at matside. It seems to be a common problem reading through some of the forum subjects. Kids are at tournaments but don't have a coach (with a card) there to be at matside.
Observe coaches that are from other clubs. Then approach the one that you think your wrestler will listen to & ask him to help your kid out & be matside. I have never seen a coach refuse this offer. We wrestle for Jackson County & one of the Ogden Boys coaches at least one wrestler that is not from our club at every tournament. Usually more then one. In kids club we are a big family for the most part & our goal should be to help the kid that wants help no matter where they are from. It's a great way to grow relationships.
