Originally this post asked three questioins. Do clubs have to pay for High School rooms? Previously Maize hasn't but some issues have come up. Do middle school kids have to wrestle during the season? Do kids have to be from the district?

From a School point of view I can see why they want kids in the District. I am sure the High School coach doesn't like the fact that Bishop Carroll gets alot of their wrestlers. Bishop Carroll has a great kids program, why not use it. Especially if you are going to be wrestling there in High School.

Because the kids are not from the District, and will not be wrestling there in High School, they do not support the middle school team. They want to stay in kids.

I'm sure that the school would not be even considering charging, if they would be getting the benefits of the feeder program. With Bishop Carroll getting some of the benefits also, the school system feels slighted.

After thinking about some of the points that Murph brought up, at first I was empathetic. CHOICE of High Schools? There should be no CHOICE, wrestle in your District. I'm sure lots of kids would love to wrestle for those programs. If you live in Goddard, wrestle for Goddard, High School and Club. They have a top notch program in both. If you live in Maize, wrestle for Maize, again the kids program and High School are top notch. If your going to wrestle for Bishop Carroll, wrestle for the kids club there as well, I have always been impressed with them.

The kids club should be a partner with the High School. Talk to your High School coach, find out what the club can do to help him. Ask him what he wants taught. Have the kids know who he is and respect him, so they will want to wrestle for him in the future.
