The East Kansas Wrestling Club is organizing a "Wrestling Combine" to be conducted at St. James High School on Sunday, March 8th. We recognize the difficulty in getting wrestlers the exposure they need to get financial aid packages and scholarships from college wrestling programs. Since our state tournaments are fragmented we hope to draw the best to this combine and have a significant audience of coaches. The goal is to gather at least fifty junior and senior high school wrestlers who desire to compete in college. We are inviting coaches, clinicians, and wrestlers to attend. Our agenda is to include agility and skill measurements, live drilling, videos, and other measures of performance to be passed along to college programs.

We are looking for feedback and ideas from the wrestling community. I will be communicating with the KSHSAA and NCAA to insure that we do not jeopardize any wrestler or coaches elegibility.

I do not expect this event to be an instant success but rather a work in progress that will eventually become a "must attend" event. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
