Rule 4-4-1
Competition shall be in the following age and weight classes. Minimum age
determination shall be as of midnight, August 31 for that competitive year. For
example, a child with a birthday on August 31, 1998 will wrestle at a minimum as
an eleven-year-old during the 2009/10 season. A child born on September 1, 1998
will wrestle at a minimum as a ten-year-old during the 2009/10 season. Any
USAWA-Kansas Kids club may challenge the age of any wrestler during weigh-in at
a sanctioned tournament. The wrestler or the wrestler's club must, within one
week, provide a birth certificate or similarly reliable verification that the wrestler's
age and school grade stated on his/her membership card is accurate. The High
School Division is available for wrestlers currently attending high school, or middle
school if their age does not qualify them for a younger age division. Wrestlers
qualifying for two different age divisions may only enter one of those divisions.
