Kansas Wrestling
Posted By: CoachEd Girls Wrestling Team - 04/05/02 04:24 PM
My wife and I are going to start an all girls team for next year. We will start with folkstyle and then progress to freestyle and greco,
if there is interest. We will work on funding this summer and try to get all the gear. We will have a core group here in Wichita that will practice
with girls only once or twice a week. We will travel to girls only tournaments. We want to invite girls from all over the state of Kansas and beyond to join
us for the traveling tournaments and to practice with us when they can. We want to get some feedback, suggestions and names of girls that might be interested.
If you want to speak with us about this new and exciting aspect of wrestling. Please email us at wrestlingpamama@cswebmail.com

If girls wrestling is ever going to take off in Kansas, we have to start somewhere. This is our idea. Who wants to get in on the ground floor of promoting girls wrestling?

Thanks for your attention,

Ed Edison
Director for Women's Wrestling - Kansas
