Too many weight classes is not the problem. If we could get more kids involved during the Kids' Federation season, then more would wrestle in high school and we would see less open weight classes.
I also understand the challenge of keeping them wrestling. Just because you start at a young age, it doesn't automatically mean that you will continue into your high school years. Why do kids drop out of wrestling if they start at an early age? Some aren't cut out for the sport, others burn out, and others choose to do something different. The key is, get more kids to experiment at an early age, and even with the ones that wash out for one reason or another, you will have more wrestling in high school.
