How ironic! My Sophmore and I were just discussing something like this just today! It had to do with HS classifications, but it was along the same lines. I have 4 wrestlers in my house, and I am here to tell you that my senior would love to have another year in USA Folksytle, but given the current rules, he can't. My Sophmore, as a Freshman qualified for HS state, and told me today that he liked the challenge of wrestling bigger kids from bigger schools in Kids wrestling. In my opinion, given a choice many of the 14U Freshmen would accept the challenge of wrestling at a HS Level for the Kids program, because most them are going to tell you it is HOW they get BETTER! I also know of a few Seniors that would like the opportunity to extend their Folkstyle season, and not just my son. I also agree that the 14U Freshman wrestle up all HS season, whether it is in the practice room or tournament situations. I for one, will be voting for this change at the meeting.
