Back in my kids wrestling days our coaches told us the find a coach about 5-6 matches before we were up and they would stand next to us by the mat until we came up. Now I realize that some clubs don't have enough coaches to accomplish that, but it would certainly help if coaches would do a better job getting their kids where they are supposed to be on time. This would make the tournament move a lot more smoothly. This is a matter of training the Parents, as well as the kids. I always make sure that I send my kids to find a coach about 4-5 matches before they are up. As a mat coach, I start looking for my next kid to come down from the stands with about 4-5 matches away.
