TEAM ALASKA National Dual Team TEAM ALASKA Future of Champions Camp TEAM ALASKA National Team Camp
This is meant to be a working concept subject to change and improvements To acknowledge the Higher level wrestlers that are ready for that challenge. That have spent the years as a younger wrestler with Team Alaska and paid their dues to represent the state as so. To also give the lower level wrestler the opportunity to get that one on one focus without slowing down higher level wrestlers goals. Break down Team Alaska Prep camps and technique improvements camps into their own focused goals while bridging them together as well.

Approaches to getting the word out Let kids with experience share, coaches are expected to sell their ideology. - Identify the kids that go to camp - Have the kids at one location of high traffic so other kids want to hang out and ask questions - Put kids in the New Uniforms at the table - Pay the kids for the day - Any kid that sees another being raised to a higher level will want to know why, how and can he do it. - stands and tables needs to be at as many tournaments as possible. We shouldn t wait till states to get kids attention. Sponsorship Banners spread the word to other people and lead to why my company isn t on there. - Attempt to have them at every tournament and at State. Could we go to venues like state fair????? - A full year is need to get sponsors to committee and follow through with showing that we did what we said we would do. Need returning support
Example
