Beeson, let me ask this question, Is the club about the kids or the school? To sportsfan 02, my own children have a very easy time in the class room, maybe this is because my wife and I are both college educated professionals, who are able to provide an enviornment for our children that is very supportive of their academic endeavors. However, last year on my JH team I had a young man who was very talented on the track, but wasn't able to maintain the academic standards to remain elgible. I did allow him to participate in my summer program, he qualified for the AAU nationals in New Orleans. Because of that experience, he has put forth his best effort in the classroom this year, and I am happy to say he has made the honor roll in two of the three nine-week quarters. So I believe my answer to your question is yes, I do believe that a child deserves a chance to wrestle club, regardless of their academic progress. Who knows? It might be the one bright spot in a young persons life, and who are you or I to take that away from them?
