I have my own wrestling academy in Knoxville that we just got started We have partnered with Wrestlersupply.com in their warehouse. I have helped with Bearden HS the past two seasons and was based out of their room until of recent with the academy.
The head coach has been there for 6+ years. We are building a great tradition. However, We have a potential coach with some great credentials looking to relocate to Knoxville from Ohio..
Big things could be swinging in our favor.

What is the name of your wrestling academy and who is the Ohio coach? We are very familar with "Ohio" wrestling...as we only live minutes from the PA/Ohio state line and have spent alot of time on the "open" circuit in both states.

I would like to thank everyone for sharing their thoughts and opinions...especially Garrett House for his in-depth response...your post certainly provided some much needed insight and your answers were very specific given the vagueness (generality) of my questions...thank you. Obviously much research is needed on my part as there seem to be several programs that have demonstrated success on an individual and team basis. That being said the only decision we have made as a family is my son will enroll in a public school.

My family and I are considering moving to Tennessee this summer, I am closing in on retirement so where we settle is subjective...though I may be a little partial to the Knoxville area (have some family there) My youngest son will be a sophomore next year and has been part of a great program here in western Pennsylvania. I have no idea what wrestling is like in the Volunteer State but I do have a lot of questions. 1. How many school classifications are there in Tennessee and which one is the most competitive? (there are only 2 in Pennsylvania, AA & AAA) 2. How long is the season? (currently the sanctioned season here runs from mid November until the first weekend in March - states) 3. Are there "state team duals" if so how does a team qualify? 4. How many matches can you wrestle during a season? (here in PA a kid may get almost 50 matches provided his team continues to compete in the team duals and he progresses through the individual post season) 5. How many post season tournaments must you compete in to qualify for states? (currently we go through Sections, Districts, Regionals then to States) Another way of asking this would be "how do you qualify for states" 6. What schools offer "spring/summer clubs" for Freestyle and Greco and do any of them travel? (We have been to AAU/Disney duals for competition) 7. What are some of the "better" programs in the state...ones that will offer not just good individual instruction but also encompass a team approach? Thanks in advance for your help. Chris (arrowhead)
