I am one that use to believe the junior high program could be done away with and use the kids wrestling federation as their outlet, but I have realized tht this would not be the best idea. Many kids in Jr High have never be given a sports opportunity and wouold not sign up for outside organization. In our small community in the Junior High program right now we have 3 kids out of 12 that have had any kids experience and only 2 of them in the past year or two.

I think Jr High wrestling is a very important feeder program for the high school. It sets the high school program up and gets kids that would normally be left out.
