For the majority of what I witness from the stands during MS and then on into kids wrestling, the head coaches remain the same...and if the coach from MS doesn't coach kids then he is coaching HS. Atleast this is the norm in our area.

Also, where else will your son/daughter have practice for 2hrs every day for the 6 week program? Plus have the mat time during 2 duals per week? My son benefited from that alone! Then we rolled right into our kids season...where we have 2 practices a week for 2 hrs per session. We go to tournaments every week from Dec. - April during the kids season.
As an 8th grader my son had the opportunity to practice w/the HS team 3-4 nights a week during their season as an extra body for the lower weights. He qualified for State for the 1st time this year...and I have to say - MS did not have a "bad effect" on him! But helped to stretch his goals and by being the leader on his MS team, helped him to focus on his future in wrestling!

Thanks for the time.
