What is the logic and or reason for the requirement to attend a KS camp to participate in Southern Plains?

Will all classes (kids, schoolboy, cadets, Jrs) be required to attend the camp?

Will we form a Team Kansas? Singlets? Coaches?

In years past, the Leavenworth County area has sent about 12 wrestlers to Southern Plains (Schoolboy, Cadets, Jrs). I would anticipate that our numbers would decrease to 3 or 4 because of time conflicts, cost, and other conflicts mentioned in the above post if wrestlers were required to attend camp.

Wrestlers may have to head up to the Northern Plains or the Western Regionals to qualify for nationals if they did not qualify at the freestyle state tourney.

I strongly recommend that this camp is not a mandatory qualifying event to participate in Southern Plains.

This discussion should also be over on the high school and freestyle form...a very important topic for older kids and our summer wrestlers as well.

Make it optional.
