The annual web posted weather policy will be followed for the Nebraska State Cheer & Dance Championships for Feb 20th. No schedule changes will take place. We respect schools choosing to not travel. Head coaches: please notify the NCA via email if not traveling.

I’ve saved this clip from 2024. Maybe you’re a parent that needs to hear it now and maybe you’re a parent that needs to bookmark it for later to come back to. Either way if you have watched your child sacrifice the norms to not be of the norm and watched them fall short you can relate. For those that aren’t at this level yet- remember every match/game/point is big to them in moment and I think we minimize that thinking we are helping them when in reality we are protecting our own self from the hurt we feel when our child is hurting. Struggle and failure are life’s biggest teaching tools. They are also some of the most painful to go through, but more so to watch someone you love go through. I hope this helps some parents- now or in the future or even those parents of kids at the younger ages. Hopefully you focus on building healthy relationships with your kids over their win loss record. Hopefully you are praising them not only in their successes, but also in their failures of trying so they continue to just that- try.

Derry Trampe, longtime Ord Head Wrestling, Track and Cross Country Coach and current Athletic Director will be retiring at the end of the year. No one in Coach Trampe’s room was more important than the other. He never lowered the standard, because he believed in everyone that competed in the Ord wrestling program. Those who you have impacted are better today because of you. Respect, humility, hard work and heart. Right leg over, left leg under. Stance motion. Heels to butt. Mat ladders. Sprints, sprints and sprints. NEwrestle literally wouldn’t be what it is today without this man. You are appreciated even decades after we left the school. Congratulations on retirement coach, you earned it. - Proud Ord High School grads: Dru Kastler, Sean Trampe, Cale Streeter and the NEwrestle teami
