How can you get today's kids interested in wrestling? How can parents be an asset to your program? How can you keep your kids interested in wrestling in the off-season? How do you build a feeder system for your high school program?

The junior high/middle school program plays an instrumental role in the development and future participation of young wrestlers. Two-time National High School Coach of the Year Scot Davis and Larry Hovden provide creative ways to promote youth-level programs, as well as some organizational ideas to create interest in and structure for your program.

Davis and junior high coach Larry Hovden (2005 NWCA National Assistant Coach of the Year) discuss 40 ideas to help build a strong junior high/middle school program. They discuss program structure, planning, promotions, practices, parents, and more in a joint effort to build a total program.

Coaches Davis and Hovden show you how to:

• Promote confidence and reward for successful wrestling
• Make parents an asset in your program
• Build pride and confidence in your wrestlers
• Learn how cooperation at all levels of your program is important
• Keep kids interested in wrestling during the off-season

These ideas are time tested and have been proven successful at Owatana in terms of wins on the mat, numbers of participants and school and community support. No need to re-invent the wheel, Davis and Hovden provide the tools you need now!
