For the person that called and forgot to leave a number for me to return the call:

No, kids do not have to maintain a certain weight class during the tour. We submit a roster, to the other teams, with the ages, weights and accomplishments of our team members. Once our camp is completed, we send them an updated list of weights, so that they can best match up against us. Seldom, if ever, are there actual weigh ins on the trip and then, if there are, it is just to best match up the kids. The only time a wrestler would have to make a certain weight class, is if we end up entering into a tournament and then it is up to each wrestler which weight class they wish to enter (and yes, we could have more than one wrestler in that particular class).

Also, we are a 501(c)3 team, through the AAU (this is done for the purposes of insurance for the trip and for the team camp). However, wrestlers on the team will carry both AAU & USA Wrestling Cards, as the teams we compete against might be either one.
