Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle 14U/12U Competition Weak......Middle School Weak

The reasion ark city supports there middle school is you have good coaches.Your school supports wrestling.Not all schools are the same.I would bet [have no real clue on numbers] That most middle schools do not even do wrestling.The ones that do fill the coaches spot with whomever is standing there at the time. Than change when he retires.
There is also the pride of being in a good club.We drive 50 mins to get there.Not becouse they worship my son.But becouse they treat ALL of the kids the same.I have been in a lot of rooms and that is uncomon.

Don't forget to sign up for Middle School State!! The Sunday after Sub Districts in Lindsborg KS. Battle for one of the five teams we will be taking to Iowa to the Middle School National Duals.

Middle School State Tournament Information

"Kids is not as tough as it could be, and Middle School is not nearly as tough as it should be. The competition for both is weaker during this time. So my statement that Kids is not as tough is true. Kids will get tougher when the Middle School comes back."

You did not say Kids is not AS tough. You titled your post "14U/12U competition weak." You said the Salina competition was "okay at best." You said the "competition is not strong in either." And you said, "NEITHER is that impressive."

I disagree and proposed an objective way to measure it.

You are entitled to your opinion and you might be right. But you don't get to redefine your argument and declare yourself correct about a point you did not make when you have lost the point you did make.

Obviously, if wrestlers are split up, one or both are weaker than they could be. You need to decide which point you are trying to make. That Kids is weaker than it could be? Presuming there is even one kid in middle school that can win a match in Kids, this is true and so obvious it need not even be said. But to call it weak, okay, competition not strong, and not that impressive does not support your argment. It criticizes Kids and adds little to your "support Middle school" argument.

The Title says Weak on both accounts, and I stand by that on both accounts. If something is lacking and not as strong as it could or should be then it is WEAK.

I'm curious how many middle schools in district 2 (Pioneer League) have a strength and conditioning program in their middle schools? Not necessarily weights, but something for strength.

We have one, but its only during the summer. That is great, but it would be nice to have year round.
