What Beeson said! However, I'm not sure what either of you mean when you say "kick middle schoolers off the team during middle school season". If you mean, that middle schoolers have to wrestle for their middle school during those periods that the middle season is in progress, then yes our club has such a rule. We do not allow middle schoolers to wrestle with the club during the middle school season. I would hope that all clubs would follow suit and require your middle schoolers to wrestle with their classmates during that brief season. For the benefit of the team at all future levels it is worth it.
I hope that everyone understands that it is against the rules to wrestle both middle school and kids federation at the same time. Each year we see kids who we know are violating this rule and we try to work through the club coaches to inform them that the kid in question can lose eligibility at the high school level if it is brought to the attention of KSHAA.
In addition, we will not accept wrestlers from either middle school or high school who are academically ineligible or have quit or been kicked off the team, until their school season is over.
