Jr.High wrestling is a problem. The KSHSAA ties down the wrestler for 10 weeks and limits them to a few duals and a tournament or two while those who are not in a Jr.High program can wrestle a tournament every weekend. I think they should relax the rule prohibiting you from outside participation during the season. If a kid wants to wrestle Jr.High and go to USA Wrestling tournaments on weekends when his team is doing nothing he should be able to without penalizing himself or his team. The KSHSAA and KWCA are too restrictive in their participation philosophy for both coaching and wrestling.
