1 OHIO STATE WRESTLING COACHING STAFF We don t need to wonder about what it takes to reach your full potential here. We have had a 4x NCAA Champ, two World Champs & now an Olympic Champ. There is no secret. You get to choose who you follow. Choose wisely... What you want out of this life just may depend on it! Head Coach, Tom Ryan. The training and performance expectations of our camps are influenced by the combined 50 years of coaching experience from the Ohio State wrestling coaching staff. Our demanding training model functions on the belief that extreme trials bring out the best in each and every athlete. We will provide a structured, accountable atmosphere that pushes our campers to achieve their best. TOM RYAN Head Wrestling Coach J JAGGERS Associate Head Coach Our takedown tournament camp is designed to help build an aggressive offensive style of wrestling that will improve a wrestler s ability to compete at the highest level. This camp will combine technique sessions with hands on instruction from our camp staff with a mini tournament at the end of the camp. Wrestlers will receive personal attention from elite athletes and coaches and learn what it means to train, compete and live like a Buckeye! Objectives of our camp: Build a sense of mat space awareness Develop discipline to stay in position Build an offensive style of wrestling Develop an understanding of what it takes to win at the next level Develop their competition skills Our overarching vision at The Ohio State University is to foster a loving environment for each other and for the sport. We hunger to build a growth-minded environment where many join together. To grow and pursue the things that will lead to a harmonious life, where cravings will be replaced with gratitude and modeling the way is the way. Together we impact and inspire the lives of those who choose to see the love we have for what we do.

3 WRESTLING CAMPS CONFIRMATION PACKET INFORMATION FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS Skin Check Each camper will be seen by a member of our medical staff who will also perform a skin check. Any athlete with a skin condition will not be allowed to practice or compete without proper paperwork from an Ohio State doctor. Campers should wear mesh shorts for this. In the event that we determine a camper is unable to participate in camp due to a skin condition, the camper s registration fee will be fully refunded. The parent, guardian or other person who drives the camper to check-in should remain with the camper until the completion of the skin check. Campers who are driving to camp or arrive by airplane to camp without a parent or guardian are not required to have a parent or guardian present at check-in but will still be required to complete and pass the skin check before participation is allowed. Camper Hygiene Each camper must take responsibility for his own proper hygiene during camp. Proper hygiene includes, among other things: Wearing clean clothes Campers should bring plenty of T-shirts, shorts, socks, underwear and athletic supports to camp. Campers should change their clothes after each instructional/workout session. Each camp day typically has three instructional/workout sessions. Campers should not attend meals or other camp activities in the same clothes that they wore to instructional/workout sessions. Dirty clothes should be placed in a plastic bag. Coin-operated (quarters only) laundry facilities are available on campus (detergent not included). Wrestlers should bring enough quarters to do laundry for the duration of the camp, if needed. Washing your hands Campers should wash their hands frequently, particularly before and after a workout or sparring session. There is a bathroom in the French Field House for campers to use when washing their hands. Showering We strongly recommend that campers shower before and after each instructional/ workout session. At a minimum, campers should wash always their hands, face and arms before eating. Campers should bring a sufficient number of towels for these showers and should not share their towels with other campers. We also recommend that campers bring an antiseptic antimicrobial soap or liquid to use when they shower (e.g., Hibiclens). Hibiclens and other similar products are available in most CVS, Target and Walgreens stores. No bare feet Campers should keep athletic or wrestling shoes on at all times while on the wrestling mats and when on their feet in their dorms. If a camper notices a skin rash, skin infection (like a boil or abscess), or other skin lesion during camp, he should immediately notify the camp athletic trainer Parent Consent, Waiver and Release Form The Consent Form should be fully completed and signed by the participant s parent or guardian. The parent or guardian should disclose the participant s pertinent medical history, including but not limited to, any medications which the participant is currently taking or required to take. Please note that when you disclose pertinent medical history, you may be requested to provide additional information (e.g., documentation from the participant s treating physician) for our event medical staff to review prior the participant being permitted to participate in the event. If you have questions, please contact Makena Lynch (Asst. Director - Buckeye Sports Camps Office) by at lynch.400@osu.edu In order to adequately assess your information, please contact us at least 14 days prior to the start of the event. Ohio Department of Health Concussion Information Sheet The purpose of the concussion information sheet is to provide information to the parent or guardian and athlete in recognizing the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Under Ohio s Return to Play Law, the Concussion Information Form should be fully completed and signed by the participant s parent or guardian. If you have questions, please contact Makena Lynch (Asst. Director - Buckeye Sports Camps Office) by at lynch.400@osu.edu.

11 CONSENT TO TREAT, RELEASE AND WAIVER RINGWORM TESTING AND TREATMENT I,, am a camper at a wrestling camp at The Ohio State University ( Ohio State ). I am aware that ringworm is a skin disease which is common in the sport of wrestling. Since it is highly communicable to other wrestlers, due to the skin-to-skin contact which is part of wrestling, Ohio State closely monitors for skin diseases such as ringworm and immediately removes campers from camp participation if ringworm is suspected. Campers cannot return to wrestling camp until ringworm treatment has begun. I understand that if this document is NOT signed and treatment is not begun by Ohio State as described below, that I will be removed from the camp and cannot return until I have seen a physician and appropriate ringworm treatment is confirmed by Ohio State s certified athletic trainer. Since this typically causes campers to miss a large amount of camp time, Ohio State is offering the following alternative arrangement for your consideration: If Ohio State suspects that a camper has ringworm, the camper will be evaluated by a certified athletic trainer (AT) at Ohio State. If the camper has ringworm, the camper may purchase anti-fungal crème (Lotrimin) from the Ohio State camp store (cost is $2). The AT will assure that the camper uses the medication and will cover the affected area prior to allowing such camper to continue to wrestle. The camper must check in daily with the AT to re-evaluate symptoms (camper will be withheld from daily activities until this occurs). I agree that in consideration for being granted the opportunity to participate in Ohio State s wrestling camp, I, for myself, my executors, administrators and assigns, do hereby release and forever discharge The Ohio State University and its Board of Trustees, its administrators, faculty members, employees, agents and students from any and all liability for losses, damages, injuries or costs associated with the diagnosis and treatment of ringworm, whether caused by my negligence or carelessness or the negligence of The Ohio State University or otherwise. I represent and certify that I am at least 18 years old and that I have read, understand and agree to be legally bound by the foregoing consent, waiver and release. I, [print name], do hereby consent to the medical care / treatment of ringworm as described in the bullet points above. CAMPER SIGNATURE DATE (if under age 18) I, [print], parent or legal guardian of, do hereby consent to the medical care / treatment of ringworm as described in the bullet points above.

12 Ohio Department of Health Concussion Information Sheet For Interscholastic Athletics Dear Parent/Guardian and Athletes, This information sheet is provided to assist you and your child in recognizing the signs and symptoms of a concussion. Every athlete is different and responds to a brain injury differently, so seek medical attention if you suspect your child has a concussion. Once a concussion occurs, it is very important your athlete return to normal activities slowly, so he/she does not do more damage to his/her brain. What is a Concussion? A concussion is an injury to the brain that may be caused by a blow, bump, or jolt to the head. Concussions may also happen after a fall or hit that jars the brain. A blow elsewhere on the body can cause a concussion even if an athlete does not hit his/her head directly. Concussions can range from mild to severe, and athletes can get a concussion even if they are wearing a helmet. Signs and Symptoms of a Concussion Athletes do not have to be knocked out to have a concussion. In fact, less than 1 out of 10 concussions result in loss of consciousness. Concussion symptoms can develop right away or up to 48 hours after the injury. Ignoring any signs or symptoms of a concussion puts your child s health at risk! Signs Observed by Parents of Guardians Appears dazed or stunned. Is confused about assignment or position. Forgets plays. Is unsure of game, score or opponent. Moves clumsily. Answers questions slowly. Loses consciousness (even briefly). Shows behavior or personality changes (irritability, sadness, nervousness, feeling more emotional). Can t recall events before or after hit or fall. Symptoms Reported by Athlete Any headache or pressure in head. (How badly it hurts does not matter.) Nausea or vomiting. Balance problems or dizziness. Double or blurry vision. Sensitivity to light and/or noise Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy or groggy. Concentration or memory problems. Confusion. Does not feel right. Trouble falling asleep. Sleeping more or less than usual. Be Honest Encourage your athlete to be honest with you, his/her coach and your health care provider about his/her symptoms. Many young athletes get caught up in the moment and/or feel pressured to return to sports before they are ready. It is better to miss one game than the entire season or risk permanent damage! Seek Medical Attention Right Away Seeking medical attention is an important first step if you suspect or are told your child has a concussion. A qualified health care professional will be able to determine how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for your child to return to sports and other daily activities. No athlete should return to activity on the same day he/she gets a concussion. Athletes should NEVER return to practices/games if they still have ANY symptoms. Parents and coaches should never pressure any athlete to return to play. The Dangers of Returning Too Soon Returning to play too early may cause Second Impact Syndrome (SIS) or Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS). SIS occurs when a second blow to the head happens before an athlete has completely recovered from a concussion. This second impact causes the brain to swell, possibly resulting in brain damage, paralysis, and even death. PCS can occur after a second impact. PCS can result in permanent, long-term concussion symptoms. The risk of SIS and PCS is the reason why no athlete should be allowed to participate in any physical activity before they are cleared by a qualified health care professional. Recovery A concussion can affect school, work, and sports. Along with coaches and teachers, the school nurse, athletic trainer, employer, and other school administrators should be aware of the athlete s injury and their roles in helping the child recover. During the recovery time after a concussion, physical and mental rest are required. A concussion upsets the way the brain normally works and causes it to work longer and harder to complete even simple tasks. Activities that require concentration and focus may make symptoms worse and cause the brain to heal slower. Studies show that children s brains take several weeks to heal following a concussion. Rev

13 Returning to Daily Activities 1. Be sure your child gets plenty of rest and enough sleep at night no late nights. Keep the same bedtime weekdays and weekends. 2. Encourage daytime naps or rest breaks when your child feels tired or worn-out. 3. Limit your child s activities that require a lot of thinking or concentration (including social activities, homework, video games, texting, computer, driving, job related activities, movies, parties). These activities can slow the brain s recovery. 4. Limit your child s physical activity, especially those activities where another injury or blow to the head may occur. 5. Have your qualified health care professional check your child s symptoms at different times to help guide recovery. Returning to School 1. Your athlete may need to initially return to school on a limited basis, for example for only half-days, at first. This should be done under the supervision of a qualified health care professional. 2. Inform teacher(s), school counselor or administrator(s) about the injury and symptoms. School personnel should be instructed to watch for: a. Increased problems paying attention. b. Increased problems remembering or learning new information. c. Longer time needed to complete tasks or assignments. d. Greater irritability and decreased ability to cope with stress. e. Symptoms worsen (headache, tiredness) when doing schoolwork. 3. Be sure your child takes multiple breaks during study time and watch for worsening of symptoms. 4. If your child is still having concussion symptoms, he/ she may need extra help with school related activities. As the symptoms decrease during recovery, the extra help or supports can be removed gradually. Resources ODH Violence and Injury Prevention Program Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Federation of State High School Associations Brain Injury Association of America Returning to Play 1. Returning to play is specific for each person, depending on the sport. Starting 4/26/13, Ohio law requires written permission from a health care provider before an athlete can return to play. Follow instructions and guidance provided by a health care professional. It is important that you, your child and your child s coach follow these instructions carefully. 2. Your child should NEVER return to play if he/she still has ANY symptoms. (Be sure that your child does not have any symptoms at rest and while doing any physical activity and/or activities that require a lot of thinking or concentration). 3. Be sure that the athletic trainer, coach and physical education teacher are aware of your child s injury and symptoms. 4. Your athlete should complete a step-by-step exercise -based progression, under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional. 5. A sample activity progression is listed below. Generally, each step should take no less than 24 hours so that your child s full recovery would take about one week once they have no symptoms at rest and with moderate exercise.* Sample Activity Progression* Step 1: Low levels of non-contact physical activity, provided NO SYMPTOMS return during or after activity. (Examples: walking, light jogging, and easy stationary biking for minutes). Step 2: Moderate, non-contact physical activity, provided NO SYMPTOMS return during or after activity. (Examples: moderate jogging, brief sprint running, moderate stationary biking, light calisthenics, and sportspecific drills without contact or collisions for minutes). Step 3: Heavy, non contact physical activity, provided NO SYMPTOMS return during or after activity. (Examples: extensive sprint running, high intensity stationary biking, resistance exercise with machines and free weights, more intense non contact sports specific drills, agility training and jumping drills for minutes). Step 4: Full contact in controlled practice or scrimmage. Step 5: Full contact in game play. *If any symptoms occur, the athlete should drop back to the previous step and try to progress again after a 24 hour rest period.

18 CAMPER RULES AND EXPECTATIONS At the camp s orientation meeting, a member of the camp staff will review these rules and may announce additional camp-specific rules. Campers adherence to these rules and expectations is critical to making our camps safe, rewarding and fun for all participants. The Ohio State University is a large campus in a major metropolitan area. The safety of our campers is a primary concern. There is adult supervision at all times in the dorms and during all structured camp activities. Campers may have free time during which an adult is available but may not be directly monitoring all activities (e.g., when a camper is in his dorm room during a break or prior to lights out). Expectations for camper behavior: Follow all instructions of camp staff and immediately consult the camp director if you are uncertain about these instructions. The term camp director as used in this document also includes other camp staff that have been designated by the camp director. Participate in all scheduled activities (including camp meals). Only the camp director may grant permission to be excused from a camp activity. Attendance will be taken. Keep your camp counselors informed of your whereabouts at all times. Lock your room whenever you leave, even for a short time. Buckeye Sports Camps is not responsible for campers lost or stolen items. Use the buddy system (designated by your camp director) at all times when travelling between camp areas (e.g., from the dorm to the dining hall). Campers may only be in designated camp areas. Bring all equipment that is required to participate in camp. Label all personal belongings and equipment. Notify a camp counselor as soon as any problem arises, big or small. Camp staff are available to help you at all times. Follow the instructions of police, fire and other emergency personnel. Expectations for overnight campers: Follow the camp schedule (including lights out ) and report on time for all sessions. Keep track of your room key. Do not loan your key to another camper. If you are attending camp as a resident/overnight camper, keep your dorm room and hallway clean. Behaviors not permitted: Harassment, hazing, and bullying of other campers or staff. This includes verbal, physical, and cyber. Using profanity or inappropriate language whether it is written or verbal. Leaving the camp area as designated by the camp director. Campers are not permitted to walk freely around the campus or surrounding areas. If your parent is picking you up prior to the completion of any camp session (day or term), you must give the camp director a note from your parents in advance. Never travel alone. Visitors are not permitted in the camp dorm or dining areas. Spectators are only permitted to watch camp sessions from designated public areas. Using a motor vehicle during camp. Campers who drive to camp may be required to give their keys to the camp director. Possession and/or consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances.

Possession and/or distribution of indecent literature or images. Tampering with fire alarms, safety, or security equipment. Inappropriate use of a cell phone during camp phone may be confiscated for the duration of camp. Excessive noise or horseplay. Removing food, glassware, utensils, or any other items from the dining commons or other dining areas. Violations of federal/state laws. Behaviors not permitted by overnight campers: Damaging or stealing University or other people s personal property. Dorm rooms are inspected prior to check-in, immediately following checkout, and at any other time deemed necessary by the camp staff. The cost of repairing any damages to the room and/or furniture will be billed to the camper. Camp fees do not cover payment for any lost or stolen items. Campers will be billed the cost for any lost keys, linens, etc. Entering residence hall rooms other than your own without permission. You may only sleep in your assigned dorm room.

While unacceptable conduct is not anticipated from campers, violation of any camp rule or expectation could result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from camp. Refunds will not be issued to campers dismissed from camp for disciplinary reasons. We expect that parents or guardians of campers will be available (by phone) during the duration of the camp in the event the camp director or other camp staff needs to speak with them about a camper s behavior.

There is a 5-pound weight allowance (e.g. 106 lbs = 111 lbs). Athletes will receive a skin check during weigh-ins. Please review Infection Prevention Checklist with your team. Anyone with questionable skin issues will not be allowed to compete without a doctor s written clearance. If an athlete is currently being treated for a skin problem, the athlete must bring a doctor s written clearance to participate. If you have extra athletes, you will be able to farm them out to another team or leave them with your team. This will be your choice. The process will happen during the weigh-ins. Teams should wear singlets for matches. Bring your own athletic tape for all non-injury purposes (e.g. taping shoes). We will have athletic trainers on staff. Our college wrestlers will be the referees. Each team will need to supply a table worker to run the clock and scoreboard during the dual. No trading of athletes after teams are set. Time periods are Teams will be bracketed in pools (e.g. winner of pool A will wrestle winner of pool B in semifinals) Coaches will meet prior to the dual and set up matches. Only the 14 starting weights will count for team score. If both teams have extra athletes close in weight, those athletes can wrestle at the conclusion of the dual. We will have an extra mat for challenge matches. If an athlete wants extra matches, they will need to contact someone from the Ohio State coaching staff and we will assist them.
