After a lot of calling I finally got a meeting with the Sherman High School AD. He shared some good news and some bad news with me.
First the good news: He likes the idea of a wrestling program at Sherman High school and hopes that it can happen. There are some hoops that I need to jump through first:
- Start a youth program and maintain it for a couple of years to show that there in interest.
- Find the gear (or money for the gear) I guess that all of the gear they used to have was given away, including their mat, warmups, singlets etc
- Be able to show that wrestling can be financially affordable when compared to other sports. I guess that last time they had a program the cost per athlete was astronomical. I am not going to share the number that he gave me because there must have been a mistake in someone's math but let's just say it was WAY (like add a zero) higher than any of the other sports.
