I personally think the Friday night weigh ins are better for the kids. For kids that battle weight Friday night weigh ins give them the opportunity to have a good meal on friday night and get good rest. Having to wait until Saturday mornings to weigh in gives these wrestlers 12 more hours of "weight watching". I have seen so many kids that weigh in on Saturday mornings go all day with out eating. Alot of wrestlers I know do not eat the morning of tournaments and most of them do not eat until they are done competing. As we all know most kids get "bubble guts" before a match so alot of them choose not to eat until they are done for the day. Don't get me wrong I have alot of sympathy for parents in this situation. Work constrictions do put alot of added stress on us. My sons have been wrestling for 3 years now and I have met some really great people and the one thing I can vouch for is most parents are willing to help each other out. My suggestion to those of you who are having trouble with Friday night weigh ins is to ask other parents for help. I have picked up kids for weigh ins and my kids have also been picked up. I know if you ask around you will find help! WRESTLING PARENTS STICK TOGETHER!!
