I am always curious to understand the appeal of wrestling middle school as opposed to kids club. The reason I say this is because of the mat time involved. Middle school is limited in the total number of matches the kids get in the season with about 16-17 total matches over the season. In club, you could have 17 matches in the first 3 weeks of the season. Maybe different districts play a role in the ability to find quality competition and geographic/financial limitations may also play a role in this decision, but i know that most of the kids in middle school wrestling around here don't get the quality nor the quantity of mat time during their middle school season. Lets take an example to illustrate:

Wrestler A starts with middle school wrestling at the beginning of the season: He goes 13-4 overall in Middle School and comes back to club wrestling 2 weeks before Sub-Districts

Wrestler B starts with kids club and compiles a record of 38-10 with 2 weeks before Sub-Districts.

Note: Wrestler B was able to go to USJOC, Tulsa Nationals, and Liberty Nationals. Wrestler A bound to the KSHSAA rules was unable to attend these national tournaments.

Each kid has a 79% winning perentage: Each kid has been practicing the same amount of time. Which kid do you think has the advantage?
