The reason I asked this question is because I noticed some younger kids that have been wrestling 3-5 years who are still wrestling as a novice. I don't agree with that.
I was told when my son was a first year wrestler to not put him in anymore novice tournaments as he got nothing from walking out on the mat and having no competition. So, we didn't do novice anymore. But, in reality, if a kid has been wrestling federation for 5 years and is STILL not dominating at the novice level someone needs to do some soul searching... most likely the parent that is forcing the kid to wrestle?
