  2. IHSA Level Two Wrestling Clinic • Why are we here? • Follow-up to Level One clinics • Continuing education and/or professional development • Attempt to make IHSA officiating consistent across the state

  3. Topics to be covered in 4 hours • Conflict Resolution • Inbounds-Out of bounds • Mechanics • Assistant Referee • Stalling and fleeing the mat • Questions and answers

  4. Conflict Resolution • See separate IHSA presentation

  5. Definition In/Out of Bounds • If one supporting part of each wrestler is out of bounds, they are out of bounds, WRESTLING SHALL BE STOPPED • Conversely, if both supporting parts of either wrestler are in-bounds, they are considered in-bounds, WRESTLING SHALL CONTINUE (this is a no call-no whistle) • Touching line is out of bounds

  6. What are supporting points? • Supporting points are parts of the body touching, or within the wrestling area, which bears the wrestler’s weight • When down on the mat, the usual points of support are knees, the side of the thigh and/or the buttocks • When on their feet, the usual points of support are feet and knees • In a pinning situation the defensive wrestlers supporting parts maybe scapulas and/or shoulders

  7. Continue or stop wrestling • Situations that need reviewed for in or out of bounds • Pinning situations • Takedowns • Neutral • Loss of control • Line calls

  8. Assistant Referee • Teams with the (Head) Official to provide an extra: • Set of eyes, set of ears, mouth, brain, and a different perspective • With these added attributes, the Team shall strive to provide the wrestlers with a higher quality officiated match

  13. Assistant Referee • Stay on your feet during pinning and near fall situations • Referee is looking for the pin • Assistant Referee is looking for illegal holds and at the clock • Don’t be on your belly saying “Right shoulder down”

  14. Assistant Referee • Have Head Official stop match ASAP when you disagree • Meet briefly away from wrestlers and coaches • Referee will inform coaches and table about any changes in scoring • Pat Referee on back and act like you agree –even if you don’t • Once Referee and Assistant Referee have agreed- DO NOT let coaches change your call

  37. Stalling • In order to be effective in calling stalling, referee must have: • Intimate knowledge, understanding, and insight into the sport of wrestling • Official must insist that • Both wrestlers strive to improve and are working for takedowns and escapes

  38. Stalling • Each wrestler is responsible for creating action • Official must be able to: • Recognize difference between efforts and action meant to look ‘busy’ i.e. ‘fake wrestling’ • Discern who can execute and who is the one that will not execute • Show consistency

  39. Stalling • Action/Inaction • Call at end of match must also be called at the beginning • Different situations • Different pressures • Flow of match will vary throughout Criteria and Application of stalling should remain the same

  40. Stalling -Neutral Position • Upper body tie-up without an attempt to take down your opponent • Blocking with forearm, chest against upper body, arm included (Yield sign-explain) • Faking contact • Grasping • One leg, hands, and/or wrist without follow through to takedown • Playing the edge of the mat • No takedown attempts (counters only) • Backing up (three steps)

  41. Stalling –Top (Offensive) Position • Being content to ride your opponent • Trapping an ankle with a tight waist • After breaking opponent down • Securing deep half, or arm bar and staying parallel • While in rear standing position-no attempts to bring opponent to mat

  42. Stalling –Top (Offensive) Position • Applying cross body (grapevine) while opponent is on the way up or is standing • Only visual hand signals indicating stalling • 5 seconds for heel trapped to buttocks (broken down on the mat) • Stalemate calls • Cross body for riding only • Cradle in BUT no turn for back points

  43. Stalling –Bottom (Defensive) Position • Defensive wrestler must improve • Work up head, buttocks or shoulders • Not required to endanger themselves • Basing out (Referee’s position) • Hands on chin, elbows together (posing or boxing position)

  44. Stalling –Bottom (Defensive) Position • Grasping opponent’s hands and holding on (including cross-body ride) • Possible stalemate situation • If repeated, warn bottom man for stalling • Crawling to the edge of the mat

  45. Stalling Three Distinct Mindsets to Stalling • Regular Match (first 6 minutes) • Work towards a fall • Overtime (6th-7th minute) • Take down (usually) wins the match • Tiebreaker • Top wrestler rides opponent out or scores • Bottom wrestler scores

  46. Stalling • Tie breaker information • Repeatedly grasping leg • Stalemate first, then • Stall warning (or penalty) • Rear standing position without attempting to return opponent to mat • Stalemate first, then • Warning (or penalty) for stalling • Lifting opponent into air • Stalemate first, then • Warning (or penalty) for stalling

  47. Fleeing the Mat • To avoid a scoring opportunity • Going out of bounds • Forcing opponent out of bounds • SEEKING A SAFE HAVEN • Referee can award BOTH action/penalty points • Action points (escape/reversal, takedown) • Penalty points –fleeing the mat • Playing the edge of the mat is stalling, NOT fleeing the mat

  48. Special Points of Emphasis • Open discussion at a certified clinic • Points attendees want to discuss • Illegal holds • Refresh Head Referee with caution warnings going into overtime • Stalling- 1st 30 seconds vs. last 30 seconds • Cisco demonstration
