Our Jr. High just started practicing last night and they will end the Thursday before Sub-District. Jr. High wrestling makes a difference. I saw it last year when my son was wrestling Jr. High and then when he returned to Kids. I was also able to tell the kids that my son has wrestled this year that had already had their Jr. High season, this year. I think it would be helpful if all of the Jr. Highs either wrestled early or late, but all at the same time of the year. Jr. High wrestling does make a difference. The coach is able to focus on and work with a more mature age group then when doing Kids practices, with the variety of ages. Just my opinion.
