I appreciate the comments. After practice last night the same kid was two pounds overweight again. I asked our club president if she could put him in at the higher weight for the tournament this weekend at Maize. She said that she tried to get his weight class changed and was told that it could not be done. It was submitted by the deadline shown on the flier. We have another practice this week and maybe he will be lighter this weekend. I am not advocating throwing out the current system, I just think there should be some flexibility. My kids are wrestling for their first year and are really enjoying the sport. I do not want my seven year old to be worrying about is weight since he was 1-1/2 pounds over last night as well. My kids will not cut weight. We will put him in the next weight class for the following tournament.
