Tough spot Crow, but quitting the middle school program mid-stream, would not be my first choice. I posted a question earlier re: middle school rules and really didn't get it answered. I have heard about some kids wrestling for middle school, and getting a little extra practice with other teams. Is that legal? I don't know. Would anyone turn you in? I doubt it. My son is challenged in practice because most of the other experienced wrestlers are wrestling school in our town. We have a good shot at winning the League title! Regarding the number of meets, we have 5 duals, one J.V. tournament, one Sat. tournament, and one League championship. Thats app. one meet per week. However, you may get more matches/week in federation wrestling. Plus in school, your not at the tournament all day every Saturday. School wrestling is done mostly on Tue., Thurs. evenings. There have been several complaints about the federation tournaments this year. Overall, my son has enjoyed the school wrestling. Heck, they've got cheerleaders, team managers bus trips and everything! And when schools played-out, he will drop down to federation where he will only have to wrestle kids 12 and under, (instead of 13, and 14 yr. olds in middle school).
