The impression I got from the incident described previously was that the wrestler's own school district imposed the sanctions on him after finding out he had been competing outside the middle school program. While I don't know for sure if that was the case, I think I can speak confidently that that is how our school district would handle such a situation if brought to their attention.
Our club eliminates that potential problem by having a policy of not accepting middle school wrestlers during the middle school season. We not only encourage them to be wrestling with their school team, we EXPECT it.
