I disagree with the wrestling season being compared to some of the other elite sports where only a small portion of the students in Kansas participate. If I had a son who was totally committed to wrestling, I could have him wrestling year-around too. If I had a son that was totally committed to baseball, again, he could start practice in the fall, do tournaments over the winter and join his high school team in the spring and another group in the summer. So, I guess you could say that baseball and wrestling both have the same season. BUT, for the majority of kids, the season in baseball usually starts in the spring and ends in the summer. You can't compare the elite athletes or elite clubs schedule to a general club like Kids Wrestling. We can all find examples of some sports that have a longer season than wrestling. But we are not talking about those sports. What we are talking about is why kids do not finish the season as it is and/or why we see such a dramatic drop-off in the number of kids as their age progresses.
