Parents/Team

 Our practice has been changed from Ockerman to Boone County High School in their old gym from 5:30-7:00pm.  We will be holding wrestle offs and practicing with the high school wrestlers. 

 If you have questions, please call my cell phone 512-7772.

Thanks,

 Coach Eschan

Team/Parents

We will be holding practice at Ryle High School on Wed 11/28 in their gym.  We will be watching Ryle wrestle Campbell Co HS and Gray wrestle Campbell Co MS.  This will be the first time many of your wrestlers will see first class live wrestling.  These are two of the best teams in the state and it will be a great learning experience for them. 

 The wrestlers do not need to bring any gear with them.  Please be there at 6:00pm. in the gym.

 Jon Eschan, Head  Coach

Team, 

 We had a great first practice.  We learned the basics of wrestling and you all picked up very quickly.  Stance, Doulble leg and Sprawls.  Our next practice is Friday 6:30-8:30.  See you then.

 Coach Eschan

Team, 

Great 2nd practice.  It went a lot smoother.  We are getting the kinks worked out and building up our conditioning.  We covered the double leg takedown again and the single leg sweep.  We will drill takedowns every practice.  Please go over the steps at home.  Everyone is picking up fast.  

Going foward we will teach, drill and wrestle live what we have learned each practice.  Repetition, Repetition, Repetition!!!!! 

Remember 5 keys to wrestling : 1. Head up, 2. Back straight, 3. Hips in, 4, Off your knees, 5. Weight in to the wrestler.

"Championships are won on your feet."

Team,  Please encourage anyone at the school or trying out for basketball, that we are still looking for wrestlers in all grades and weight classes.  If you know someone who is waiting to see what happens this week with basketball tryouts and wants to wrestle, have them come out to practice and talk to me.  If they don't make the basketball team, we still want them.

 Coach Eschan 

Team,

Another good practice.  We saw some new faces.  Please encourage them to keep coming out to learn a great sport.  Don't let them get discouraged.  If you know of anyone else, please ask them to come out and participate or just watch to see if this is a sport for them. 

 Tonight we reviewed the double, single leg sweep and I taught you the low single and half nelson.  Review these at home and come ready to use them at them next practice.

I have added some tournaments, matches and a scrimmage to the schedule tab.  Please review.  11/10 is our first scrimmage at Newport High School.  Preseason warm up.

"Championships are won on your feet"

 Coach Eschan 

Team, 

Great practice.  We taught a lot tonight (build a base, stand up, scoring/penalties).  We reviewed the double, single sweep, low single.  Great hussle at "Bulldog".  Friday we will review and teach (sitout turn in, switch, break downs, cradles).  We won't do a lot of live wrestling.  You will get enough on Saturday.  Be ready to learn on Friday.   

 Coach Eschan

"Championships are won on your feet" 

Team,  We will be holding wrestle offs for the first match and NKAC tournament.  Please make sure you are ready to earn your spot on the first team.  Some of the weight classes have more than one wrestler and some do not.  This will allow you to make a decision to wrestle up or drop to then next class down.  If you choose to drop a weight class, I along with your parents will decide if this is ok.  This is a tough thing to do.
