Simply the best wrestling experience you can have. 17-18 matches possible in 4 days. It makes even the middle school duals pale by comparison. There is a new definition of tough after your wrestler survives SB duals.

2010 Kansas Schoolboy Dual Team

Congratulations, you have been selected as a candidate for the 2010 Kansas National Schoolboy team. You have already shown you are one of the best in Kansas folkstyle wrestling. Now it’s time to take it to the next level and advance your wrestling in FreeStyle and Greco.

To qualify you must be born in 1996 or 1997 and have a desire start building the foundation to get you to the next level of wrestling. The National SchoolBoy Freestyle/Greco duals are June 9-13 in Indianapolis, IN, and offer a great opportunity to represent your state on a national level, get some great extra coaching and mat time, and start getting yourself ready for high school wrestling. It also shows you what it’s like to be a part of a team pulling for a common goal just like high school. It will be one of the most fun experiences you have ever had in wrestling.

Schoolboy Duals is an exciting opportunity for your young wrestler to grow and mature as a young man and a wrestler. We have tentative plans for a camp in the Kansas City Metropolitan area for two days commencing on Monday, June 7, 2010. We will leave for Indiana on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 to wrestle for four days and return Sunday, June 13, 2010.

The team travels in vans supervised by the coaching staff and stays together in a hotel in the Indianapolis area. We anticipate a cost for the team, which is only partially funded by USA Wrestling – Kansas, is $225.00 per wrestler. The wrestlers will each receive a blue and red singlet which is custom designed only for the Kansas summer national teams, two t-shirts and a pair of shorts, all designed by Blue Chip Athletic. This gear is included in the cost that each wrestler must pay.

The 2010 National Schoolboy duals give you the opportunity to wrestle up to 15 or more matches in 4 days! It’s a great learning experience and a lot of fun. Please call me with any questions or interest, and I will be contacting many of you as well or talking with you at upcoming tournaments. If you know any other wrestlers born in 1996 or 1997 that are interested have them give me a call or e-mail as well. I will be at many of the upcoming tournaments and will see you there.

Good luck in all your wrestling, and let’s make the 2010 Kansas National Schoolboy team one of the best and make some noise this summer.

We are officially less than a week away from the team camp scheduled for our Kansas Schoolboy Team and we still do not have any information on any specifics. Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Contact Tom Williams at wilgt@msn.com

Thanks Doug, we've been trying that with no success and have been hearing from several of the other parents the same thing so we spoke with Cokely at Hays yesterday and he said the same thing, to contact Tom; however still no informaion. We'll keep trying, just trying to schedule everything, etc. Thanks again.

Did you try the phone number also? Your email could be getting caught in a spam filter. He has always returned calls and emails promptly.

For those not going, it would be nice to see who is on the team.

Schoolboy Duals Update:

We are running behind this year, the timing of state and other factors are part of this.

I found out Friday that our camp facility is not available so I have been scrambling to find a an alternate location. Tentatively, the following is our schedule:

1. Monday, June 7- 12:00 p.m. -- Camp commences, St. James Academy, Lenexa
2. Wednesday, June 9- Leave for Indy on 2 vans.
3. Sunday, June 13- Return to St James, time depends on tournament results.

The schedule and map of the tournament is in the event section of themat.com

We are staying at the Dollar Inn in Greenfield, IN. My rate is about $35/$40 per night and I have and additional 6 or 7 rooms if someone wants one, tell me by this Friday.

Chaperones- I need an adult in each room with 3 wrestlers, two to a bed. If you want to do this, let me know ASAP. You will pay $40 for your room total for the four nights. I do not need drivers, but do need several to handle food, errands and so forth, there is always something to do and I appreciate all who are interested.

The following is my tentative lineup, I emphasize tentative, all of these have been asked and not all have responded. I will update when available.

70- Christian Bowen
77- Josiah Seaton, Braden Dipman
84- Sean DeShazer
91- Luke Henes, Tanner Madl
98- Dylan Eck, Nick Haug
105- Isaac Dulgarian, Seth Strauss
112- Zak Hensley
120- Taylor Watkins
128- ????
136- Jared Langley
144- ????
152- Trent Salsbury
160- Kyle Huck
175- ????
190-Josh Wilmas
210-????
265-????

Remember, the list is tentative, I want to take 24 or 25, so still need backups at a lot of weights and am not yet done with the heavier weights. If you are not on the list, let me know your criteria and I will respond. If you know any heavier wrestlers, please contact me ASAP. Thanks to all for patience and understanding.

Add Liam Eck at 175. I still need a couple of kids in the 200/200+ range, and am working on the backups and other weights to fill in. All help is appreciated.
