I know for a fact that Oklahoma HS coaches can and do run FS/GR practices in their school facilities usually beginning after spring break and running through Fargo (late July). they can not coach folk style during the spring (I think) but they can do whatever they want with freestyle. so oklahoma kids are exposed to an entire additional season each year. Missouri, I believe also has a nice lack of limitations on what their HS coaches can do with FS/GR. I would do it for zero dollars (heck it would probably cost me money) if KSHSAA would allow it. It is almost un-American that KSHSAA tells HS coaches in Kansas you are not allowed to out work anyone.

All KSHSAA needs to do is allow HS coaches to coach FS/GR in March April May and Summer. And you would see Kansas wrestling skyrocket, we would immediately compete better on the national stage.
If some schools want to give stipends great, if some schools will let us use school vehicles to transport kids to FS/GR tournaments great, those programs will probably develop even faster. if KSHSAA would just back off, and let HS coaches coach.

There are some outstanding wrestling clubs that doing FS/GR most of them are in Wichita, Kansas City etc. We have to drive to Dodge, which is fine (tough room great coaches) except it is an hour and half away. But guess how many people in Hugoton Kansas are willing to run a FS/GR club...1...and he is not allowed to do it with anyone older than 7th grade...that is ridiculous. Until the summer when all the introductory opportunities are over and its time for the hard core stuff.

KSHSAA limits opportunities for HS wrestlers and coaches in Kansas.
