All of those are good ideas. Some of you realize that some kids already wrestle kids who are two or three years older. If they are a young 10 and under and they are wrestling a old 10 and under you could have a 9 year old wrestling a 11 year old. Question are the weight rules something that has to be followed or are they just guidelines or suggestions. As for moving up in age I really don't feel like telling a second year kid that he needs to move up to ten and under just because someone doesn't know the rules. i want it to be fun not scary and painful. Wish there was a easy answer but I know there isn't. guess will we just keep working on it.
