How do coaches calculate what weight class your child will wrestle at weight certification?
Long story short I complained to our coaches about my son only being able to wrestle what he weighs when other boys who are taller than my son (4 to 6 inches taller) can wrestle down 2 weight classes to wrestle at my sons weight. I was basically told that my son had the opportunity "to do" (my assumption is to lie about his height) what the other boys did at certifications and he chose not to (cheat) and if I were to say anything about this again my sons position on the team may be in jeopardy. Is this how all high school wrestling works ? please help ! ! ! I am completely disillusioned at this point. what are certifications for if not to keep kids from wrestling at an un healthy weight
