    Sorry Bulldog, but you are misinformed about the school covering all aspects of your team. You need to ask your AD for an update.. As for you never having a card, that's a personal choice not to. Have you heard of "murphy's Law"? Also proof of insurance for your child in School covers just that "to be in School". depending on districts they don't add the sports coverage (More $$$), but every student must have some sort of insurance. Liability is the issue. You don't need it until you need it. also, most do not have any idea they are not covered. If you are sued in your school district and you were in the wrong, guess what? they do not have to represent you. with USAW they do.

    As a High school coach myself ( a few years ago) That was the cost of having a filler program. Back then the HS coach ran everything. Hell, it's awesome to see paid and unpaid youth coaches. I was the one that petitioned the school board to have paid coaches for our MS and Youth programs in all of Hardin County. Our HS did fundraisers With the youth and MS programs, you can make some good money for all programs. As a rule, our youth program has always paid a participation fee (card included). The only athletes that are not to pay this fee per our AD was HS

    You don't need coverage to and from practice and events.  Parents take them to and fro, just like going to the grocery store. 

    They are covered even with their parents. tell Mark Hitchens he didn't need it when he got into an accident on the way home from a tournament a few years ago and ended up in the hospital along with family members. Its a secondary insurance but it helps to pay your medical bills. 

    And by law are not all people in the USA required to have medical insurance?

    No, they do not. your primary Insurance if you have it only pays 80% (if that) You pay the rest. So a secondary is good to have.

    Ksmith you are correct in the assumption that KHSAA only covers HS sports.  However middle school teams fall under that umbrella because Middle school teams are actually JV teams under the High school team. All that the coaches have done is limit the grade of those competing against each other.  It is no different than having a freshman team in basketball or even the all A classic in basketball. 

    You are correct, but only in Jefferson county because they have absorbed the cost of liability Insurance . All other counties do not think this way. That is why we do not have a wrestling team at every MS. We have to petition the school board to have a school team or club.. Even with a paid position, we still must have separate liability insurance for our team/club and school. I really wish the KHSAA Commissioner would come out with a policy statement to back up what i am saying. I am quoting him from a board meeting in the past when they were deciding on either or not to absorb all MS organizations in KY under KHSAA. MS and Youth are not covered under KHSAA catastrophic liability insurance. Mr Tackett has met with the KY AD and given them this information. That is why mostly all MS wrestling program Schools and clubs require a charter and liability insurance from USAW. KY USAW is the major reason we have an independent organization in our state and able to establish our own bylaws..

    I would consider folkstyle, freestyle and greco different sports in the same manner I would consider judo a different sport.  They are all a MMA type of sport but different disciplines.  So the analogy of baseball and softball makes perfect sense to me.  Teach folkstyle during folkstyle and freestyle during freestyle practice.  

    Our future in Kentucky is with our Youth. We should think of Freestyle/Greco tournament with clinic during there season.

    For years our coaches were not comfortable with teaching anything but Folkstyle. Most refused to learn let alone teaching it to their kids. But with the turnover of these coaches and getting a shot in the arm with transfers and college kids giving back to the Wrestling community, we are making the change needed. As with all good things it takes time. You should have seen Kentucky 10+ years ago!! We are growing Slowly..... but positively forward.
