the kids that only wrestle usually start practicing in oct. so they can wrestle in the okie tournaments. so those kids are wrestling from then til then end of march. all i know is wrestling is a grueling sport and the wear and tear these kids go through they will pay for when they get to be old like you. i mean look at the way you walk your knees are shot bucko lol. now take that from the age of 5 to the age of 18 and that cant be good. i really didnt wrestle that much when i was younger like my boys do now. i still have knee problems. not just from wrestling but that was part of it. i dont see it ever changing but thats ok cause i will do what i have been doing with my kids. whatever im doing seems to be working for them. i just hope they dont start having injuries and get sick of it before highschool. thats why i let them play other sports. no all kids are able to be good in other all sports.
