Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Max weight

12u and 14u heavyweights, is there a maximum weight?

Here are the weight classes, per the USAWKS bylaws. There are no unlimited weight classes.

8 & Under - 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 70, 73, 76, 80, 88, 95, 110, 125, 140
9 & 10 - 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 70, 73, 76, 79, 82, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110, 120, 130, 150, 170, 190
11 & 12 - 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 130, 140, 150, 165, 190, 215, 240, 265
13 & 14 - 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160, 165, 175, 205, 235, 265
High School - 100, 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220, 250, 285

So just to make sure I’m reading it correctly, 14u 265 is the maximum weight a kid can be?

Also, when combining weight classes to make a bracket, is there a maximum difference in weights allowed? Example, to make brackets can a 200 pound kid wrestle a 265 pound kid? Or is this too large of a weight difference?

The maximum weight for 14U is 265. Unless modified, we follow NFHS rules. Under those rules you can wrestle up one weight class maximum.

Okay. Thank you Mike!
