COACHES PACKET

! General Information: "Thank you for showing interest in Iron Sharpens Iron Team Camp. We are excited about ISI 2015. Last year we had 1502 registered wrestlers from 14 states. This year we have moved our Iowa camp to keep up with the growing demand. We also have comfortable and affordable lodging at both of our camps. "This packet was created to help put you at ease. This is the 5th annual ISI. It is ran well because we keep to the schedule. We are committed to offering you the cheapest and most competitive team camp in the country. The directors of this camp are just like you. Both are high school wrestling coaches that were frustrated with the cost of university ran camps. We want our kids to get matches in the summer! Last year, the average wrestler left our camp with 10 matches, not including our takedown tournament at the end of the camp. We have had some wrestlers get as many as 20 matches in the 4 day camp. "This packet is filled with pertinent information about camp.

Team Registration: "Each team is allotted 10 scoring wrestlers. If your school cannot fill a team, we will shuffle kids around to make complete teams. We will also have daily exhibition matches if interested. An individual takedown tournament is on the last day of camp. It is our goal to get your wrestlers as many matches as possible. "You may have 7th graders on your High School team if you feel they are capable of it. Coaches from both teams must agree to the ten matches prior to the start of the dual. If both coaches want to score more then ten matches that is fine as long as it is agreed upon. Coaches do your best to get the best match ups. "You will rank your wrestlers according to the following scale: "High School 1- First year wrestler 2- JV Wrestler with losing record 3- JV Wrestler with winning record 4- Varsity Wrestler with losing record 5- Varsity Wrestler with .500 record 6- Varsity Wrestler with a winning record 7- Varsity Wrestler with .750 record 8- Varsity Wrestler qualified for state tournament 9- Varsity Wrestler state place winner/champion "Middle School/K-6 1- First Year 2- Losing Record 3- .500 4- Above Average 5- Excellent """""""""""""""" ""
