Manning and his staff will conduct the clinic at the Devaney Center around Nebraska's wrestle-offs. The Huskers begin full-team, regular-season practices on Wednesday, Oct. 1, and the wrestle-offs serve as an open practice that helps the staff determine NU's starting lineup.
The clinic begins with opening comments from Manning at 10:30 a.m., followed by a program from Boysen on high school wrestling rules. Boysen is responsible for the NSAA's wrestling weight management program.
The afternoon features two technique sessions from the newest additions to the Husker coaching staff, Travis and Trent Paulson. Both were three-time All-Americans at Iowa State, wrestling under Bobby Douglas and Cael Sanderson. Trent captured a national championship at 157 pounds in 2007. The two also narrowly missed qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics after each finished third in their respective weight class at the Olympic trials.
The wrestle-offs begin at 6 p.m. and will feature 15-20 matches on two mats. Coaches will have a chance to watch Nebraska's four current All-Americans (Jordan Burroughs, Stephen Dwyer, Brandon Browne and Craig Brester) wrestle, along with the rest of the Husker squad.
Attendees will also receive a Nebraska wrestling t-shirt, three meals and an invitation to an evening social.
Pre-registration is encouraged and coaches can sign up by clicking on the registration form above. Cost is $95 before Oct. 31 and $100 at the door. Registration begins at 9:15 a.m. on Nov. 7.
