parents & wrestlers,

First of all we are not a club, we are the state team for Kansas and we have been around for at least 8 yrs. There has been at least 8 girls go off to college that have wrestled for the team and we have several all americans from 6yrs old to 18. The problem is not that we don't get information out. We have a web sight, we've sent out mailers, we have face book, there is a womens divion on this sight with a talk forum. We have went to several tournaments to get the word out and to all the meetings about wrestling to promote girls wrestling. We are open to suggestions about additional ways to get the word out. We have setup practices at least 2 times a month last year. To get some team atmosphere and comradary which was to help the girls feel included. This post has been on here since 12/1/09 and there has only been three post. This describes what the men and the other wrestlers are saying, it appears that the girls really don't want a state organization to support them. This is excactly what I was afraid of. You never know how good you have it until it is gone. It is interseting how we are contacted weekly from people out side the state. We have girls from all over the country that write, to get information and solicit us to join the team. But we have almost 200 girls through out all age groups that wrestle in Kansas, and most don't even know we exist. We have been the no.#1 team in the US for elementary and middle school age girls for at least 4 years and 3rd in the country for high school 2007. If you ask anyone in the country who the Krusaders are,
they can tell you the coaches and most on the team. Almost every female college program knows the team personally, but the girls in Kansas don't know who we are. If you have asperations to be a female wrestler or get your college funded, the Krusadrers is a pretty good start to your childs career. We have plans to hold practices only if there is interest shown to us. Through calls, emails, texting or post on this sight other wise we will have to assume there is no interset. We don't think it is a good idea to waste the states money and our time if you really don't care.
