I went the previous two years, and I miss not being there. It IS fast and furious.

These duals are hopefully the start of our kids wanting to be a part of Team Kansas, and do more of this type of thing with the even more grueling Schoolboy, Cadet, and Junior duals in the summer. What typically happens is the first dual, the kids really don't know what to expect, and things are kind of quiet, but once they figure it out, figure out the scoring, getting those bonus points for pins and tech falls, majors, and figure out that though winning is important, you can also help your team by being competitive, not giving up pins or bonus points, or being a vocal leader to pump up the team.

He'll have lots more buddies as well. If you have a shy son, he'll learn valuable social skills. It would be interesting to go back and look at the duals rosters from years back, and see that the big majority of our HS state champs and placers were a part of this Middle school duals experience when they were that age. It really is a stepping stone in the wrestling journey.

The elementary school duals team will help feed the hunger for the middle school duals team.

We really do owe a huge debt of gratitude to the folks that put these duals teams together, the coaches that go along, the parents, van drivers, etc.

Can't wait until my youngest gets up to that age!!

Parents, if your kid was born in 96 or 97, have them do the FS Greco thing, so they can try to be a part of the Schoolboy duals in Indianapolis. 94 and 95 kids, Cadet duals are in Minnesota. 92 93 kids, Junior duals, is in OKC I believe. Awesome events to be a part of.
