Continued Training Opportunity in SEMN; Stewartville Open Room

As the state FS/GR tournament wrapped up, there are still plenty of opportunities to compete in the coming months (Northern Plains, Duals, Fargo, etc.). In line with those competitions, Stewartville is looking to keep it's doors open for the remainder of the FS/GR season. We have a decent amount of wrestlers from our own club, but we also realize that some clubs may be winding down or stopping.

We'd like to open our doors to anyone in the region who wishes to keep training for Fargo and other tournaments. Our idea, as of now, is to run practices Mon-Weds at 6:00pm with some Thurs additions if desired/necessary. Nothing will be much longer than 90mins at a time. We're planning on a June 3rd start date. We'll mainly focus on Freestyle, but will definitely add hints of Greco when we can. We're sort of aiming it at 7th grade and up, but we're in the early stages and open to most, numbers dictating. We have younger guys still wrestling, as well.

The biggest and most difficult thing that we're looking for, however, is somewhat of a commitment. With athletes traveling to come train, we'd really like to have commitments from guys as to what days they could/desire to train. What we don't want to happen is having an athlete from 30mins or so away to come ready to rumble, and not have a partner that suits him size-wise. Our thought (again, as of now; still tentative) is to look for guys that can say, "Hey, I can do Mondays and Wednesdays, and I'm 152lber." or "I have to do ___ on Mondays, but I can do Wednesdays and some Tuesdays." Then we can make sure that we have someone from our club or another there to get a good workout in. Obviously, we understand that things come up and it's summer. We're not saying, "You must commit to coming those days all season.". We're just looking for rough ideas, and if you can't be there some day, just let us know so we can make sure that someone else is available to train with the ones that can be there.

We know there's a great amount of hard-working talent in the area. We're aiming to have a central location for everyone to stay sharp and continue to progress through June/July into Fargo/Nationals. Currently, this is in the "feeler-stage". We are trying to see what kind of interest there is, and if there's interest, how many/what days they are available to train. The current Stewartville Wrestling Club staff will be running practices. Coaches that bring athletes over are more than welcome/encouraged to participate and give their wisdom as well. No such thing as too much knowledge.

If you're interested, feel free to PM me. Again, we're flexible and just looking to open up the room for quality training. We've had a few different athletes already give us some interest, and again, we have a few from our own club as well. Any questions, PM me and I'll either have a good answer for you, or I can get you a good answer in a timely manner.

I haven't received much feedback, completely understandable. If you would rather (I realized that everyone reading this thread may not have a handle on here, my apologies.) feel free to email:
Assistant Coach Heath Bakken at hbtwrestling1@msn.com with any questions.

Bumping this to the top.

I will spread the word to my fellas in the LEAN2 to see if they wish some extra/different partners.
