That is definitely a problem and fast becoming a bigger one! Wrestling is not alone, in that we start earlier and earlier. Ten years ago tournaments before Christmas were very rare, as was pre-Thanksgiving practice. A 4-month season has become 5-months and is fast approaching 6.

I suggest you talk to your club and let them know your problem.


Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
