For kids who feel the season runs to long, what says they must register in November? If they signed up in February, their season is 1month long. If sign up in January 2 months long. Some kids season never ends. They continue with freestyle and wrestle year round. The great thing about this sport is individually you can wrestle when you want. That includes starting and ending when you want. Everyone knows when state is, when Tulsa is, when Reno is. You plan accordingly. If not someone's cup of tea to do Tulsa Kickoff then don't start the season before then. But if you want to compete there, it is best if you don't start the season the day before.
