The way the seasons are scheduled in this league put wrestling at a huge disadvantage in trying to recruit kids to our sport. Basketball starts in early November and runs through the first week of February. Wrestling starts in early January and runs to the first week of March. Kids start basketball then are told to finish that season before they start wrestling or at best have to split time until basketball is over. By then kids that have not wrestled before are starting in the middle of season and get 4 weeks to improve enough to want to do it again the next year.
Football season is 8-9 weeks, wrestling is 8-9 weeks, track is 8-9 weeks and basketball is 13 weeks and overlaps the wrestling season by 4 weeks.
In other leagues the seasons are built so they don't overlap which allows everyone to try both which seems to me to be the most healthy way to do it. What can be done to help the way the seasons are scheduled in the pioneer league?
