Here is an opportunity for some special training for nationals for those interested.  I have no personal experience with this guy, but have heard a lot of good things.  I'm still having trouble with attachments, but I have copy/pasted the flyer below.

High School Nationals Wrestling Championship and Convention

MARCH 26, 27, 28

Grades 9, 10, 11

Virginia Beach Convention Center

I have been asked by several parents to help prepare their wrestler for this upcoming event. I also plan to attend the tournament as well as help coach the kids. In preparation for the tournament I plan to hold practice the first four Sundays in March. These practices will be very intense and consist of 6-8 wrestlers that are training to obtain an All-American status at this tournament.

If you are interested please contact me ASAP so that I can reserve a spot for you. For coaching purposes, at the tournament, I can only manage 6-8 wrestlers. If there are more interested I will secure another quality coach to attend the tournament with us.

These are the wrestlers that are tentatively going thus far:

Myron Bradberry SO 103 Kentucky State Placer  3rd

Josh Johnson SO 130 Kentucky State Champ

Dust Brown JR 135 Kentucky State Placer  3rd   

Korey Shotwell SO 140 Kentucky State Placer  2nd

Training Sessions:

All sessions will be on Sundays from 4:00-6:00pm (Springboro, OH)

March 2nd , March 9th, March 16th, March 23rd

Cost:  $200

This includes 4 training sessions, weight management workouts, and coaching during tournament.

This cost will also cover my expenses for the trip: Flight $100, 3 nights hotel $400, coaches pass $100, food and misc. $100.

Please contact me to hold a spot and for further questions.

Avery Zerkle 937-631-2099 [email protected]

As open mats are scheduled around the state for these guys preparing for nationals please post it here so everyone knows.

If anyone would like a reference for coach Zerkle, contact coach Jordan @ Jeff Jordan state champ camp. Coach Zerkle wrestled for coach Jordan, and was a clinician @ state champ camp. Definetly the real deal!!!

I just got word from Coach Ruschell,

Training each Saturday at Ryle HS from 10-4 in March 

pm me with any questions

Times will be more like 10-12 and 2-4 ish.

Same as we have done in the past.

PM me if you plan on attending so I can get #'s put together.

I stand corrected.  Thanks KD,

National training will be at Gray Middle, not Ryle.

Same campus

There will be open mats at Woodford County every Monday and Wednesday at 6 pm right now.  Here in a few weeks that will change to Tuesdays and Thursdays though.
