2. The flight leaves Kansas City on Wednesday, April 1, 2009 (meet and park in space to be determined later - maps will be provided).  We will return on Monday, April 6, 2009.
3. Your wrestler has a bio sheet and payment sheet that must be returned along with a $300 payment per person by 3/5/09.  Please note - this is after the notification by 3/1 due in #1 above.
4. Most towns, booster clubs, civic groups, etc. are happy to assist in funding the wrestler as well as you and his parents.
5. There is no wiggle room on the dates – so please respond as soon as possible.

This trip is open to the coach and you too and we’d like to have you join us for this great weekend of wrestling.  Last year’s tournament had over 800 elite wrestlers from 46 states vying for these top honors.  Kansas has had 75 All-Americans over the 19 years and we plan to add more this year.  In last year’s NCAA Division I Championships, 9 of the 10 Champions, 17 of the 20 finalists and 80% of the All-Americans had competed in the NHSCA Wrestling Championships when they were seniors.

The costs this year are expected to be around $550 per person, plus additional money for meals, souvenirs or any other purchases.

Unpaid amounts for all orders of shirts and other items are also due March 20.

We’ll fly out of Kansas City Wednesday (April 1st, 2009) and cannot return till Monday (April 6th, 2009) because the finals are Sunday night.  Come along with us and share in this great experience.
