Over the past couple of years the National Team Staff has been throwing around ideas to help motivate wrestlers to "train" for our bigger events during the summer season. Too often we are getting athletes that simply show up to National Team camp and go to Fargo without putting in training time. We have wrestlers that simply pay their way to go without attending practices/camps/clinics. We are adding an incentive plan that hopefully will encourage our wrestlers to continue to "train" throughout the summer months. It is briefly described below. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. Reminder that the FS/GR director will have the final say on all discounts and decisions.

Wrestlers may choose as many of these events as they want to. I have weighted the “training” sessions a little more heavily to influence the wrestlers to train, not just wrestle. All wrestlers have $425 of discount opportunities. (I created two discounts for last year’s wrestlers. The thought being that they are already motivated to train.) There are placing discounts that I have not included in the base $425 available as I don’t want to assume that all kids can place. These total $235.

Of these $425 worth of discounts available, they can only accrue up to $300 to be applied to the $750 cost which would mean that they would pay JUST $450!!

We need to remember that we are the CHEAPEST Fargo opportunity in the country. This is a sound plan to give our wrestlers incentive to get ready. If a kid doesn’t do anything he will have to pay $750.
