went from a very solid progam not having a loosing season in 17 years to not having a winning season in 4 years 8 times a top 10 team in the state. Problem school hired a teacher to coach who never made it out of the district tournament you guessed it 4 years ago. The coach has literally ran wrestler off good ones because of his ego. the previous coach wrestled these kids at camps tournaments open gyms and anywhere he could get them matt time. Newer coach tells the wrestlers where the camps are and where to find mat time yes a pay check coach. Frankly the school dousent give a $#!t. The valley has several very good programs. My Son has some talent and has put alot of time in and has hefty goals he dousent see his needs being met does he stay loyal or should i let him move on to try and achieve his goals.

Let him transfer. I'm not sure how the new rules apply to transferring in the middle of the school year, but he will regret not doing his best in high school.

He did it right. He didn't mention any names of coaches, wrestlers or schools in his complaining. He also didn't make it obvious who it was and he should remain anonymous to maintain his freedom of speech, without repercussions for what most of us see as mild complaints. If he used his own name people would know WHO he was talking about (coach, school, wrestler, etc), but all we know now is the ISSUE at hand and it can be discussed. As long as people keep it vague, and on the issues, and not in the specifics of who/where exactly is involved.

Interesting question about loyalty.

Loyalty should work both ways.

Has the program and school been loyal to the wrestlers? Or are they simply checking the box by having a program and coach? Which begs the question: Are they taking individual athletes for granted? Have they stepped up and made a real effort for their athletes?

In the grand scheme of things, your son's high school years are going to mean much more to him, then your son having any lasting meaning to the school district.

To the school, your son is just another student athlete, just another number. Another butt in the seat for funding.

Ten years from now, it's doubtful many on the staff will even remember your kid, but your kid will remember his HS years forever.

If other aspects of your life support moving him to another program, then it's worth doing for your kid.

Might want to look at the academic offerings as well. You wouldn’t want him to post stuff on message boards that were just grammatically correct.
