01/30/14 – Post Season Information
The information and instructions for the 2014 Regional Tournaments have been posted on line. You can access the information by going to the wrestling page of the KHSAA website.Coaches even though some of you are veterans, please take time to read these carefully, there have been changes made this year. Those of you who will serve as Regional Mangers, you will find your instructions have also been posted to the wrestling page. I would strongly suggest that you as a competing school, download the files to ensure that you are aware of all KHSAA rules regarding these tournaments. http://khsaa.org/sports/winter/wrestling/ Best of luck to you for the remainder of the season. Keep looking to this blog for further updates as we get closer to the […]01/17/13 – Score Clock Promotion
Coaches, I have attached a link to a letter that you can copy and present to wrestling supporters in your area, asking for possible advertisers for the score clocks that we use at the State tournament. In the past, several schools have sold advertisement spots to local business that support wrestling and some have even had their own booster clubs purchase adds in support of their wrestling team. I hope that those of you who have bought advertisement boards in the past will continue this year. Those coaches, who are new, may want to begin a new tradition by having your program prominently displayed in the arena. Please feel free to contact me by email, mbarren.@khsaa.org or phone 859-299-5472, if you have further questions. Thanks again for your support of our tournament. http://www.khsaa.org/wrestling/letterpromoscoreboardads.pdf01/07/13 – Wrestling SKIN CONDITION
We have been contacted in the office that certain skin conditions have been identified at this weekends past tournaments held at multiple sites. I would like to remind each of you to take the necessary steps to aid in the prevention of the spread of these conditions. Coaches please continue to monitor your students and if need be, refer them to a local medical professional. Coaches and officials, please take note that we updated the “Wrestling SKIN CONDITION” form ( WR111) two years ago. We believe it will benefit all parties involved by clearly stipulating weather the condition falls under Rule 4-2-3 (which requires a form to be renewed every Seven days) or Rule 4-2-5 (that allows for valid documentation for the duration of the season). Please take time to make your self familiar with this form. I have included a link to our website where you may download and make copies as needed. Always remember, regardless of documentation, NFHS rule 4-2-4 […]01/04/13 – New Mat Offer
As many of you Coaches are aware, we have been very fortunate to have the EZ Flex Sport Mats Company help us with our State Championships by providing the Mats. Many of you have purchased these mats at a savings by not having to pay the shipping and handling charges. This year we have again entered into an agreement with EZ Flex Sport Mats. If you are in the market for a new mat, you may want to see the attached flyer and give Dave a call today! http://khsaa.org/wrestling/ezflexmatsale.pdf12/21/12 – KWOA Member to Officiate FILA Tournament
A KWOA member and KHSAA official, Toska Adams, will be traveling to Kiev, Ukraine this spring with the USA Men’s and Women’s Freestyle Team to officiate. Toska has been the head official at numerous national tournaments. This will be her second overseas trip as a FILA official. In the summer of 2011 she went to Poland with the Men’s and Women’s Freestyle team and officiated. Congratulations Toska! Well done.12/14/12 – Wrestling Ear Guard Interpretation
As a rule reminder I have copied the latest correspondence from the NFHS in regards to Head gear. Key wording is “the uniform shall be worn as intended/designed by the manufacturer”. It has come to my attention that some wrestlers are “twisting the straps” for various reasons and that would not be allowed under this interpretation. Coaches, please be proactive and stop this before the Official has too…
NFHS RULES REVIEW INTERPRETATION
TAPING OF WRESTLING EAR GUARDS
The NFHS Wrestling Rules Committee issued a rules reminder for 2011-12 on wrestling ear guards, specifically as it relates to Rules 4-1-4 and 4-1-5. That rules reminder does not constitute a change in Rules 4-1-4 or 4-1-5; rather, it represents an emphasis in the manner the Committee believes the rules should be administered and enforced. Rule 4-1-4: ART. 4 . . . Wrestlers shall wear wrestling ear guards, which provide:11/26/12 – Basketball and Wrestling Officials Part 2 Test Now Available

With the growth of wrestling (more than 15 schools have added in last seven years), and four new programs are starting this year, it is time to realign Wrestling. Many of the regions are taking more than one day to compete and have little room for growth and expansion of new programs. In addition, with the NFHS rules restricting athletes to five bouts in a day (including forfeits), the size of the bracket makes it problematic when they become so large and mandate a second day.
The information about this realignment is at www.khsaa.org/wrestling. Click on the link to Realignment. Commentary and feedback will be accepted from the member schools by clicking this link, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Wrestling_20132014_Alignment_Survey through January 22, 2013 prior to planned approval of a final alignment by the Board of Control on January 28, 2013.
If you have specific questions, contact Asst. Commissioner Michael Barren at the KHSAA.
07/15/12 – Reminder about Case BL-25-14 (Open Gym/Field), Out of Season Restrictions
Case BL-25-14- What are the restrictions during the school year outside of the defined Limitation of Seasons (off-season) when the school’s team members are participants or school coaches are involved?
Coaching is defined as any activity by the coach at a time the athletes are participating in skills (either preparatory or specific to that sport) in a setting in which skills are taught, refined, or practiced. Coincident participation by a coach and an athlete in a sport such as a golf outing, where the coach and athlete(s) are not entered as a entry or group, or in an activity such as distance running with many runners but no direct coaching, would not specifically be considered coaching.
The “off-season” is the period during the school year for each sport or sport/activity that is outside the defined start and end dates for the sport or sport/activity as detailed in Bylaw 25. The restrictions begin on the first […]

Welcome! We have just finished a great season of wrestling with the championships in a brand new home! I’m already working on next years State Championships and with that comes a new method of communication between our office and the member schools. When our Boss first told us to create a Blog, I panicked. I’m not a writer. But here we go with my first post! When I was teaching, I had to explain to my students the Kentucky Department of Educations terms: Novice, Apprentice, Proficient and Distinguished. I told my students that they should think in terms of an imaginary trip and how to get from here to the Beach. A “Novice” writer would get you lost. An “Apprentice” writer will get you there, but it will take days and you will hate the trip. A “Proficient” writer will be like MapQuest, they will get you there in the shortest […]
