From my point of view

Starting wrestling after football gives the kids an option to experience both wrestling and basketball (that's what this should really be about). This would have a tremendous effect on the smaller schools participation in wrestling. Right now it is hard for some teams to field 18 wrestlers in different weight classes. I know the worst feeling for my wrestlers is showing up to a meet and having a open.

If they choose to split boys and girls BB it would also be much easier to schedule facilities and practices. As noted by others your coaches could do both boys and girls season. In wrestling this would allow high school and middle school coaches to work together or coach both seasons with only a couple weeks overlapping. Wrestling seems to be the hardest sport to find qualified coaches.

I will say I am not in favor of shortening the middle school wrestling season. We have a compressed schedule the way it is. The middle school wrestling season needs to go up till Christmas break, and boys BB needs to start in January.

The biggest complaint I have heard is that BB will lose practice time as they start about a month before their first competition. My wrestling team will also lose practice time which is were we we get better. However, I am willing to give up some practice to allow kids an opportunity to participate in both sports.

I don't believe many administrators are going to care about kids club wrestling so I would put my emphasis on the other positive things about changing the season dates.
