  1. Coaches, 

    Attached is information regarding the 2023 KY Freestyle / Greco National Team Dates, Clinics, Logistics etc. 

    We had a pretty good turnout last year, and sent a 16U Freestyle team to Loves Park, Illinois and a Junior Freestyle team to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

    The teams were composed of some of the best Kentucky wrestlers from all over the state, and they were able wrestle 9ish duals against some of the best competition from all around country (Washington, California, Kansas, Wisconsin)

    Kentucky won several duals, had guys go undefeated (make the all-tournament team) and the Junior Team won the Rollie Hoover Freestyle Award. A few months later, 12 of the KY National Team members competed at Freestyle/Greco National Championships in Fargo, ND, and the Raney twins each won National Titles.   

    In addition to the great wrestling opportunities, the guys also developed relationships and friendships with other Kentucky wrestlers from around the state. I think this is vital in growing our sport, and it’s really cool to see these guys interact with each other at tournaments during the High School Season.     

    We’re trying to get as many KY athletes to the clinics as we can (Coach Shuck and Bellarmine have been great hosts) & then to the Freestyle/Greco State tournament. Our goal this year is to send a 14U Team to Oaks, PA.  

    Thank you coaches for all you do!

    These are great opportunities, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out @ 719-209-1852

    A very important component is preparation. As coach mentions our best kids can compete with the best around the country. But we can’t just show up in Fargo and expect to do well.  It takes focused training and kids from the power states get it. 
    Spencer didn’t make the world team last year by just putting in mat time, but it also didn’t require spending a ton of money or travel time to big name clubs. Virtually 100% of his freestyle prep was in the barn with myself, Ryan, and Wilder training with his usual teammates.  And he made it through one of the deepest weight at the cadet trials. We have good resources in Ky. Take advantage of them. Show up at these clinics and learn. 

    Thanks for sharing, Coach! That's awesome!

    Friendly reminder--

    The second Freestyle-Greco clinic is this Sunday the 24th @ Bellarmine 

    We had about 35 athletes attend the first one, and they had a blast! 

    Hope to see you all there
