Once in high school, you are only allowed to lose 10% of your natural body weight on the first day of practice. That is unless you know that your going to be droping more than 10%, them you can get a slip from your doctor stating that it is ok for you to drop that weight that you want to. Now, I think that this would be a good rule to instate into kids wrestling for those that want to cut weight. But there would need to be some extra guide lines to this. I.E.- one can only lose 3-4% of their natural body weight on the first day of practice. No one can get a slip from their docotor....or ANY doctor saying that they can lose more. Also maybe only certain ages can lose this weight. Like 12 and under and up. Now I know that there are some kids that tend to lose weight just natually though the season. I was once one of those kids. Those kids that do so, so that they don't get into trouble for losing more than they are suppose to, could keep like a weekly chart of their weight. With that in mind, the head coach and 3 assistant coaches and their parents must sign off on it, stating that that information is in fact true and that that kid is not actually "cutting" the weight, they are naturally doing it.
