Ok so back to the original intent of this post, and I am sorry if anyone thought that I am blaming KSHSAA. Everyone has rules they have to live by, and ours are not as strict as some-at least we don't have the weigh-in and body fat testing of other states!

I would like to see a list of basic moves that ALL youth wrestlers should know. I started wrestling late in life and now that I have two little boys I want to know what I should teach them. I know the moves I want my Middle and High School kids to be able to do. We follow the K.I.S. method(keep it simple).

Neutral:STANCE-Close the Gap-Lead with the Head
Outside-step double
Outside-step single
Duck Under
High-C to a Dbl

Set-ups:
Pop/Chop
Drag

Bottom:Toes-tucked, Arched Back, Head-up
Stand Ups
Switches
Sit-out series

Top:Control, Western Hook, Split ride
Spiral
bar and half
chiken wing series
tilts

CONDTION-CONDTION-CONDTION-and then life some weights!

Just some thoughts, I know some coaches do not like to share but I am not giving up any secrets that anyone doesn't already know. And yes I know I did not address defense or other facets of the crazy sport we all love.
