Uncle Spam 3 Report post Posted February 5, 2018 Has the KY wrestling association, clubs/organizations, or promoters of the sport considered joining NUWAY to give kids a spring/summer outlet to not only keep perfecting their craft, but also put KY wrestlers on a national stage. I'm asking because I was looking for tournaments for my nephew to get in this off-season and came across my home state of Ohio's WAY page and was impressed by all the opportunities for youth/HS wrestlers. Here's NUWAY's link: http://www.nuwaywrestling.com/page/show/1197331-national-united-wrestling-association-for-youth Here's Ohio's WAY page: http://www.ohiowaywrestling.com/ I'd love to see even more opportunities open up for not just my nephew, but all of the quality kids I got to see wrestle at the KY middle school state tournament yesterday. Are there opportunities in KY I may be overlooking to recommend to my nephew to keep improving his technique in the off-season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
