I enjoy watching the older boys (14 & 16)with maybe 8 to 10 years experience. This is their Grand State. Some these guys may qualify for high school state and never even make it to Kids State. That is a pretty high caliber of wrestling.
I do enjoy watching the 6 & 8's but they still have another 8 to 10 years for their grand state.
I have never heard any talk about the total number of matches a kid can wrestle in a year like they do with high school. I worry about the toll on these young bodies. In baseball they do not want them throwing a curve ball to early because of their physical development. I kind of feel the same way with a kids 4-13 years wrestling over 25 matches in a year. In high school they have a point system limiting the number of matches. I know that should be the responsibility of the parents monitoring the kids number of matches. I have heard some parents at tournaments say their 6 or 8 year old is 50-4 this year. That is a lot of matches nearly 2 years worth.
