I think you are right on point. But until we start at the grass roots with kids clubs attracting elementary aged kids nothin will ever change. Many of the kids that wrestle in high school now do it because I was able to provide them the experience of kids club. Turner has 2 kids on their team for my club, Sumner 1, Wyandotte 1, Schlagle 5, Washington 1, Park Hill South 1, and Bishop Meige 2. Let's just say when I went to the Meige Regional it was a virtual reunion. This shows that kids exposed to wrestling at a younger age (middle school) are more likely to continue. I don’t know if it’s a black thing or white thing but I do know that the few kids I had the opportunity to work with carry the same love of the sport that I had. With that being said until these kids are provided opportunities to wrestle for and with people who have a strong love and passion for the sport. When they can get on the mat in club near them after the season is over. This topic will appear on the board year after year after year...
