I agree ... normal weight loss from strenuous practices and kids that have weight to give is good. I think the key is to help dismiss the image of wrestlers starving themselves and sucking weight. Kids need to learn the great lessons wrestling teaches. Hard Work, self displine, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Even in youth wrestling there is team work. Try to have a practice wear the kids don't help their "teamate".
