Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Freestyle/Greco Times have changed!

Ok it has been awhile since I went to Jr. Nat. and I was wondering what a young man has to do to qualify for Freestyle and Greco Nationals. Must they compete in the State tournament in JC to be available for the Southern Plains in Hays.
Maybe I am being silly but someone tell me what I got to do for these kids, thanks!
Coach Brown

They need to place at one of the two.

I found this on the flier thru http://www.themat.com/clubs.php

JUNIOR DIVISION: Wrestler must have qualified in a competitive event conducted under sanction of USA Wrestling in the state where he/she resides, and must be certified by the state association. Each state may enter a maximum of forty-five (45) men wrestlers and thirty-six (36) women wrestlers in each style and a maximum of four (4) wrestlers in any one (1) weight class, per style.
* In addition, the top three place winners from USA Wrestling’s Junior Division Regional Championships and the FILA Junior National Championships qualify for this event but must still adhere to all individual state association policies.

CADET DIVISION: Wrestler must have qualified in a competitive event conducted under sanction of USA Wrestling in the state where he/she resides, and must be certified by the state association. Each state may enter a maximum of fifty-one (51) wrestlers in each style and a maximum of four (4) wrestlers in any one (1) weight class, per style.
* In addition, the top three place winners from USA Wrestling’s Cadet Division Regional Championships and the FILA Cadet National Championships qualify for this event but must still adhere to all individual state association policies.
* Due to the timing of the event, the West Kids/Cadet Regional is not considered a qualifier for Cadet Nationals. The Northwest Regional in Battle Ground, WA is the qualifier for states residing in the West Region.

Coach Brown: Did you get the pm I sent you about the practices?

Yes John I did I am working on practice schedules right now...
Thanks,
Coach B

First thing they have to do is find a real Coach! Jason give me a call I can explain anything that you might want to know when it comes to High school kids. Yes times have changed but they are still the same. What you and Brent used to do in Manhattan will still work today. If you need cards or any kind of help let me know!
