I'm old school, so the most important part of the season is sectionals, districts and the State Tournament. Anything prior to that jeopardizes these events from happening. A major outbreak at a mid season tournament could end the season, teams showing up at events with poor protocols could end the season, our season will be over quickly with any major problem. My hope by coming on Yappi is all of the coaches associations ban together to create a solid game plan to ensure the season finishes with an individual State Tournament. It was unfortunate guys like Moon, Gallahger, Lockett, Voinovich didn't have a shot to stand on top of the podium last year.
I remember my time on the Iowa Hawkeye Freestyle Club with Coach Dan Gable, everything we did was to prepare for the Olympic Trials, I have no idea what he would recommend here but I'm sure he would want States to happen at all cost.
levels of recommendation:
1 no regular season tournaments or duals, start season with sectionals
2 no tournaments, highly regulated duals only, (highly regulated, no one enters gym with out temp taken, masks for everyone including wrestlers not wrestling)
3 tournaments with no fans, duals with fans social distancing (highly regulated, no one enters gym with out temp taken, masks for everyone including wrestlers not wrestling)
4 everything as last year, (highly regulated, no one enters gym with out temp taken, masks for everyone including wrestlers not wrestling)
please list your area coaches association contact email and I will gather data and send it to them
Thank you,
Coach Mark Sullivan, Saint Ignatius Cleveland, Ohio
