I was tasked with restarting the wrestling program at White Station High School in Memphis, TN this year, after a five-year absence. You must be dedicated to it to make it work. I have had an awesome first season, but it hasn’t been without it’s serious frustrations and headaches. The school, your AD, and parents need to be involved and invested for you to hit the ground running, and make some progress. I like the idea of starting some type of middle school program first before start the high school. This will allow you to have a program that feeds into your high school program once it is up and running. Without that you will always be playing catchup to the programs around you, and in your region, that have feeder programs, clubs. Etc. Money is also a huge component and something you should create a plan for, before you ever start your team. Probably my biggest hurdle this season. Hope this helps.
