After our conversation after the Derby Tournament I did follow up on this issue.

There is a flaw in our system. Many of the freestyle/greco officials are licensed through the USWOA which is a division of USA Wrestling. It is my understanding officials in this organization must pass a background check.

In order to officiate a USAW Kansas Kids Tournament an official must be KSHSAA Registered and also pay the $5.00 USAW Kansas Kids registration fee.

I forwarded the KASPER online information in a PDF file to the Kids Executive Director, the Officials Director, and our State Director.

It is my understanding since the official is KSHSAA registered he was allowed to register as a USAW Kansas Kids official.

I can assure you, as long as I am on the USAW Kansas Kids and USAW Kansas Corporate boards, this issue will be resolved.
