Facilities

I don't think it is news to anyone that there is a problem with the facilities at Cedaredge High School. I don't think we can build the program I am envisioning sharing the wrestling room working on one mat with the weight training equipment and those classes. I don't know what the answers are at this point, and I think it will require face to face discussions about options. In the meantime, I'd like to begin by dreaming about ideal facilities. This post will include various videos of top facilities in the nation at the high school and youth level. I might even throw a Russian video on here.

To start things off, here is a video of my high school alma mater: Ozaukee High School. My brother-in-law is the current principal and my best friend is the head coach. They have about 250 students 9-12, have recently finished 2nd in the state as a team, and have wrestlers heading to Fargo this summer representing Wisconsin at Cadet Nationals. Check out the size of their room. And to think the old room built by the "club", not by the school, was even bigger!


These next two videos highlight Blair Academy's facilities. Blair is amazing! The first video shows the old facilities, and in the second one, Buxton takes us through the new facilities.





This next video highlights the facilities at a "club" not a school. It is Eierman Elite.



The next video gives you an idea of what facilities are like at St. Paris Graham.



The next two videos give you a glimpse of things at Detroit Catholic Central.





This final video shows a club in Russia. Check out the huge windows and natural lighting. Sure beats wrestling in "the dungeon" like most wrestling rooms.
