You said “my advanced wrestlers”.

Well, I always listen to a ‘Granddad’. You decide, “it’s a great time for wrestling”.

I also agree with Sportsfan02. "Unless you're placing first every week at the local tournaments you still have competition in your own back yard". Moreover, to continually improve, technique must become more important than winning or pounding on them with your strength.

And any kid’s first national tournament is overwhelming, but necessary. Mr Chenoweth offers a great suggestion, “start them off going to some Oklahoma tourneys or Missouri tourneys to get a taste of out of state wrestling for them and go from how they do there.”

All that said, there are still very fine lines between (1) ready, (2) willing, and (3) able. A “Yes” list:
 Can we afford it (without cost being a distraction/stressor)?
 Is it the second time they’ve asked (shown a genuine interest)?
 Is it possible (are they ready enough) to win at least one of their matches?
