USA wrestling during dead period ?

[madmatter]

Can my son join a club and practice during the dead period and attend tournaments

[CoachBray]

Yes, he can. He just can't have any contact with his high school coaches during that time.

Thanks

It's not just contact with his coaches.

During the dead period there are no open facilities, no practice, and no weight training/conditioning allowed at the high schools.

[madmatter]

well thankfully there are several youth programs in our area to chose from none of which are run by high school coaches and , since our school barely supports the high school we will have to go elsewhere so I think we will be ok. again thanks

So true! I know of several high schools that have someone coaching their club team that is not on the high school staff. The only problem is that they are still practicing in the high school wrestling room and at the present time that is a violation of the dead period rules.
