The State Series Review Committee met during the 6U and Elementary Dual State Tournament in Salina on February 28. Present at the meeting were: Jonathan Whisnant, Mark Stanley, Tracy Peterson, Will Cokeley, Zach Campbell, Matt Treaster, Richard Salyer, Doug Eck, Daniel Reiling, and Chad Beeson.

The committee started out by reviewing what had taken place and was discussed at the prior meeting on January 24, 2016. We then discussed our focus point of "What is Best for Kids?". an article from the National Wrestling Coaches Association, Importance of Recover by Dennis Johnson, EdD, and the new Athlete Development Model (ADM)from USA Wrestling was reviewed. The committee then went through the suggestions/input which had been made by members through email or the talk forum.

It was decided that the next step would be to send out the survey to the membership on the state series and possible changes. Once the surevy was returned, the committee would then review the results at its next meeting. No meeting date was set pending the survey.

Thanks,
Matt Treaster
