With the pandemic and all b.s. going on. What is the main thing you guys wanna see this year for H.S. wrestling. Do you think we as parents will be allowed to be in the gym bleachers and able to watch our kids wrestle? Especially with our kids being seniors

Do you live in Utah?Wyoming?Idaho? Unfortunately there will be no High school wrestling in WA. St. in 2020/21.If you school's AD or coach is telling you this they are just saying it to placate you. Hope your wrestler is not a Sr.

AD's and coaches may be "placating" kids and parents because the WIAA is placating AD's and coaches.

Actually I think the wiaa has really tried to create a path forward for High school sports.However if you look @ Inslee's safe start requirements (and yes they are Inslee's) "high risk" sports such as football basketball and wrestling require a less than 25/100 covid infection rate in order to occur. Currently we are over 100/100 and heading higher.Not the wiaa fault.Doubt if even low risk sports like golf or tennis will happen in 2020/21.Unless there is widespread vaccination or high herd immunity by spring.

How could such a large percentage Of the population keep this tyrant in office? 👹 better hope for herd immunity through the winter months. He is shutting you down for a reason people, and it’s not for your own good 😉

Herd immunity isn't a thing. Around 75% percent of the population would have to have contracted the virus. If 1 percent of those people died.... do the math. It would literally take tens of millions of people dying to achieve it.

Actually herd immunity is a "thing"How else do you think the human race defeated every major pandemic in history? But obviously now it isn't a "thing" while a generation of teenagers become a whole lot dumber, the world economy goes in the toilet,etc. etc. Wait, am I being selfish for speaking such blasphemy???

Over here is Spokane County the news just reported the average age of death from covid is 80 years old. 2 years higher then the average age of death in America. Just amazing.

I agree that the WIAA has created a path for high school sports, yet to do so causes ADs and coaches to at least communicate to kids and parents about those potential seasons. If wrestling can't start on December 28, then it may be postponed to the spring, so ADs and coaches must continue to tell wrestlers about a potential season despite it not being very realistic and giving some families a false hope. Maybe it would be merciful for the WIAA to at some point cancel "high risk" sports for the year rather than kicking the can down the road.

WIAA has not laid a path. They hand known all along that the chance of sports would be minimal. They did do their do diligence and set up a scenario, but they also knew it was out of their hands. I thought once the election was over that Covid was going to disappear anyway?

“We do not train to be merciful here, mercy is for the week. Man confronts you he is the enemy, enemy deserves no mercy.”

When I read “merciful,” this quote is all I thought of.

Path to play, this is what I keep telling parents of wrestlers. I don't believe as an AD that this is placating. Below are our return to play thresholds and what is allowed in each area

High Risk of transmission >75 cases/100K/14 days 0r <5% positivity
Indoor facilities shall be at less than 50% capacity.
Wrestlers should maintain the recommended six feet of distancing between individuals and should be in limited contact with each other, no sharing of equipment.
Avoid grouping of athletes at start and end of practice or during transitions.
Virtual coaching workouts can take place in WIAA approved coaching windows.

Moderate Risk > 25-75 cases/100k/14days and <5% positivity
1. Modified practices with contact may begin.
2. No signs or symptoms of Covid-19 in the past 14 days.
3. No close sustained contact with anyone who is sick or individuals that may have been exposed to Covid-19 within 14 days of beginning group training.
4. Wrestlers should maintain the recommended six feet of distancing between individuals and should be in limited contact with each other.
5. Consider small pods for workouts with 30 square feet of distancing between groups.

Low Risk <25 cases/100k/14 days and <5%
Wrestling competitions may begin.
1. No signs or symptoms of Covid-19 in the past 14 days.
2. No close sustained contact with anyone who is sick or individuals that may have been exposed to Covid-19 within 14 days of beginning group training.
3. Resume normal sized group training sessions outside and/or inside training facilities.
4. Onsite coaching can resume without physical distancing. Coaches should gradually build back up to full training loads but may need to modify practices for various levels of conditioning.

To my knowledge no one has said the season is cancelled. So communicating these guidelines with parents so they know where we have to get to is pretty safe. The WIAA board is constantly evaluating all sports seasons to try and create options which won't cancel a sport.

high risk?

Path to play needs to be communicated to parents and wrestlers as you say because it is what we have. However, it creates a stressful uncertainty for kids and many parents. The WIAA decided to not make an executive decision on November 17. Instead the regions with 50% of schools being able to participate will make a preliminary decision and then a final decision on December 4. It creates another layer of ambiguity. These are stressful times for kids and that ambiguity adds to that stress level. The WIAA needs to take that seriously as they set up this path to play. It doesn't look likely that wrestling will meet the metrics needed to start in season 2. That ambiguity will continue as the season is moved to another season. Kids are looking for answers from adults and all we can say is that we don't know anything yet, thus adding to the stress of kids. We want kids to have hope, but continually dashing their hopes in a climate of ambiguity is not healthy. I believe the WIAA means well, but they need to do better. As we likely go into some further restrictions and continual remote learning, it is very important that we are honest and realistic with kids and create a plan that doesn't just add a false hope and more uncertainty.

Don’t disagree with anything you said Ace.

Re: WIAA

Posted by some better certainty on 11/13/2020, 4:15 pm, in reply to "WIAA"

agree with Ace. I think with wrestling being considered a high risk sport and things getting worse in terms of COVID for the winter, they should just call it until the last season - season 4. We all know it is going there, so just move it there now so people can plan. By then there is hope things are better, maybe vaccine, better planning, other sports with less risk lay the ground work. Seems logical to me to increase the possibility of wrestling and reduce the guess work.

exactly but my experience with the wiaa is that they aren't really in it for the kids. For example the ridiculous rule that at regions that one alternate cannot take the spot for the other district if their alternate cannot fill in for one of the other qualifiers and the fight against a 32 person boys bracket at state
