Tournaments say, "what grade are you in?" Kansas says, "what age are you?" You can wrestle 8th grade as long as that's your classification. BUT, if you are 15, you can't wrestle 14u. Your only choice is HS. Why is this, a BIG deal? I know kids who wrestle their age all year, but go to Brute, and are in a grade lower than their age. Why is everyone crying over this? It's 1 kid who wants to wrestle. Pick your battles carefully.
