You know if your kid should be a Novice wrestler or not and so does everyone else. We have a kid in our club who has been wrestling for 4 years but still can't shoot, can't hit a basic sit-in, or switch. The only thing he can do is a stand-up and thats like pulling teeth. He is a "novice", but hes had a card for 4 years so he can't go to novice tourneys.
