KSHSAA Handbook Rule 22 (page 34): "Outside Competition" prohibits the practice of wrestling in school and kids tournaments during the season of sport. The rule applies to students in grades 7-12.

From Labor Day through the Friday before Memorial Day a student who is a member of his school team may NOT compete as a member of an outside team or as an independent competitor in outside competition in the same sport.

A student becomes a member of a school team when he/she first participates in a practice session.

it is true Middle Schools have no set season of sport as do high schools; meaning middle schools could play football in the spring if they wanted to. . . but the restricitions on practicing and participating with outside groups while a member of a school team remain the same, regardless of the time of year.
