I have a question, do all states require a camp to attend Southern Plains Regional now? I ask this because when I was coaching in Montana back in the 1996-1999 timeframe we sent about 3-4 wrestlers to Southern Plains. We did this so our kids could see new competition and we were able to turn it into a vacation for the kids. No camp was required at that time.
If we want Kansas kids to participate, why make the camp mandatory? Every thread on this post asks what I think are legitimate questions and gives firsthand examples of our kids that are choosing not to participate. It is not because of the travel or the competition but because of the time required for a mandatory camp.
I am interested to see the responses to Mike Flynn's first question as to the reasoning for this camp requirement? I am trying to look at all sides but am having a hard time seeing the logic in having a camp for Southern Plains.
