"How long do you think that you can keep a kid interested in this sport if all they are allowed to do is practice?"
They are allowed to wrestle up an age group thru the season just not for qualifiers. Many years ago before we reduced the weight classes we had kids walking thru, all the way to a state title.
"Wrestling is the one sport where all kids of all shapes, sizes, ability and/or disability levels are welcome to compete."
I'm not sure where this notion was first created because I've heard it paraphrased before, but wrestling is NOT for everyone! There are weight limitations at every level, from kids to college.
