2019 Wrestling Clinics and Live Rule Interpretation Meetings
Sponsored by the IWCOA
The IWCOA in cooperation with the IHSA is pleased to announce 12 wrestling officiating clinics and live rule interpretation meetings that will accommodate both beginning and experienced officials. The IWCOA has a long-standing tradition of supporting better officiating throughout the state of Illinois via their wrestling officiating clinics. Each person attending any of these 12 clinics will receive credit from the IHSA for a Level one/two clinic and rules interpretation.
UPCOMING CLINICS
All clinics require you to be an active paid IWCOA member ($35), or to pay an "at the door" membership fee of $45. It is preferred that you become an IWCOA member before the clinic (saves you $10) and register online at IWCOA.NET. If you choose to use paper and snail mail: memberships and pre-registrations via mail must be postmarked 5 days prior to the event (mail-in form also available on IWCOA.NET). Again, the cost of membership will increase to $45 if paid at the event. Lifetime/Hall of Fame members are not exempt from the membership fee when it comes to clinics ($35 online and pre-registered or $45 at the door).
All clinics will start promptly at 9:00am and conclude at 1:00pm. There will be a free lunch served from 1:00pm until 1:30pm. A live IHSA rules interpretation meeting will begin at 1:30pm.
Please contact your IHSA Head Clinician, Tony Clarke (847-721-1132) or email clarkeanthony@comcast.net if you have any questions.
