This may help a little. A couple years ago we were approached by a D2 private about a co-op because they did not have wrestling. We are a d1 private currently. We entered the agreement because our numbers are low and I couldn't see a kid having to sit when he wanted to wrestle. A little deeper into the situation, they had signed an agreement with a metro Nashville public school and it was accepted by the tssaa but metro balked and canceled the agreement. What we had not considered at the time was we were d1 and they were d2. We could only accept certain athletes so that we were not in violation of the rules, ie financial aid and scholorship. The athlete was not on scholarship and he did not receive aid. Hope this helps

If you attend a private school and it doesn't offer wrestling what are the rules about wrestling for another school, does it also have to be a private school or can you wrestle public. If so is it the closet public school to your home address or the private school you attend?

Is the school part if TSSAA in other sports? If so, I believe the school must co-op with the nearest school. If not (meaning they are not TSSAA affiliated), then I believe it is treated like home schoolers and it would be the nearest school to you. At which point you have to contact the athletic director and submit a letter of intent to them, which is sent to the principal , then the county, and then TSSAA.

If the rules are the same as they used to be, the school he (or she) is attending must not have had a program for at least 3 years (that could be 5, I'd have to check for sure). If that's the case, then the student would be eligible to compete for another school (don't think it matters if it's public or private) provided both principles approve.

 

Why should kids have to wait 3-5  years to co op with another program if their school chose to drop the sport ?

Thanks for everyone's input.

Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but one of my buddies here at work is very good friends with Miller. I asked him. He said of the school doesn't have the program, you can play at another school (as long as you get accepted) and it "has to be a school closer to where you live" not the actual school. Your address to the nearest school.

Ask Mark Reeves at TSSAA.

Miller was a freaking load running the ball for Polk County.

That kids ate nails for breakfast, I'm sure of it!

If this is the case, what would stop a private school from becoming a feeder for a public school. You could bring in athletes from out of zone, send them next door to wrestle...sounds like a plan. Now, who's got big money around here.......

If a school doesn't have an wrestling program and he wants to wrestle, that doesn't make it a feeder program or anything like that. The kids can't help their schools doesn't have certain programs. This has nothing to do with money, recruiting or a feeder program. Had a lot to do with the boys or girls wanting to play a sport that their school doesn't offer.

      school closing in Shelby county

      By TheTruthHurts22 · Posted

      Im more of a Basketball follower than football and like I said we play what we have, there is no going and recruiting or even talking kids into transferring…..and to rebut about Memphis teams in finals I’ve watched Memphis East and Penny Hardaway with the enrollment of a single A team play up and dominate any and all challengers for years! They aren’t the only ones either Mike Miller and son at Germantown put together that super team a couple years ago that ran through the rest of the state! Other teams from Memphis or Chatt or Nash or any large populated area pop up and are relevant out of nowhere every year because they get an influx of talent be it from a new coach or AAU affiliations it happens in football also just like any other sport! I hope these two schools that close join together and get to play the team you support, then you may see it differently! I find it funny some of you think recruiting and resources don’t matter . The county schools get very little funding also but you don’t want to get me started on that part!

      Simmons OUT at GH

      By WaReAgLe3 · Posted

      In a total classless move, Coach Simmons once again shows his true colors. Waits till the day after school is out to let everyone know he is leaving. Fails up to a community college job after a lackluster 2 year span at GH. And do not tell me about the state run that saved a sub .500 season and plenty of whippings by Cookeville and Lebanon.  Looks like the girls job at GH is cursed. Terrible MS program/coaches feeding what is turning out to be a joke of a HS team.
