I really appreciate all the time and attention that Coach Ed, Coach Brooke, and Jenni put into the girls program in the state of Kansas. You guys go above and beyond to promote girls wrestling and you do an awesome job of working with girls of all ages. My daughter, Cassidy loves spending time with her Krusaders family. She has come such a long way over the last year. We live in SEK which is a two hour drive from Wichita and even further from our Burlingame practice and she has attended practices in both locations. Most of the time she is the only elementary girl there her size, but she still loves working out with the team and learning new moves. Over the last year, we have meet some really neat girls that Cass has made friends with. I love it when we go to tourneys or practice and you guys all get together. I also think it's cool that you all support each other. I know last year when Cass was sick and wrestled a touney, Emily and Lyric were right there to help cheer her up and encourage her. I know last year also, Jada tried to encourage one of our girls in our club to wrestle and come to practice and I appreciated that support. However, I am really disappointed in the turnout of the girls in the state at these opportunities. I've heard clubs say that they aren't going to take their girls to practice or these tourneys because the Krusaders girls will whip up on them. I wonder if they have stopped and thought about why those girls that practice with Krusaders are getting tougher. I think the practices and effort really pays off. Also, I hear people all the time complain that the girls have to wrestle boys. We have chances for them to wrestle girls, but not many are showing. Girls you have great resources in the practice sessions, clinics (which were awesome), tournaments that are setup and most importantly the coaches. Let's get together and support our program so it can continue for all those girls who want and need it.
