I think some of the problem with the low numbers is the lack of information being out there. 3 years ago we really didn't know anything about the wrestling options in the area. If it wasn't for my son's football coach who wanted him to try it, we probably still wouldn't be involved. I can not believe how much he would have missed out on not being involved in this wonderful sport.
Something else to think about it starting fund raisers early. When season starts it is almost too late. I have found that the more cost you can cover for the family, the more intrested they are in joining. And if the information really needs to get out early.
I have headed up the fund-raising for both football and wrestling with great success, I would be happy to share ideas with anyone who is intrested.
Maybe we can organize a KC area wrestlers day out this summer??? That would be a lot of fun for the kids. Getting to see everyone over the summer. Maybe World's of Fun or a big cookout somewhere???
