Great Thread! This is our first year wrestling. My son was a little scared at first. He knew nobody, new nothing about the sport, and did not know what to expect. I can say now, that I'm already missing not be at a wrestling event this weekend. He had kids from different towns and schools who now are friends. It's not just a handshake and a nod after a match, it's a hug and then sitting in the stands together after the matches. Awesome sport!
