If I have an 8yr.old that is bigger than 120, does he have to wrestle the next age class up, or can he not wrestle at all?

[90goldeneagle]

He will have to wrestle in the next age group up.

fair enough

A good tournament for beginners! I believe this was the first tournament my son ever wrestled in a several years ago! It got his feet wet without having to go against more experienced wrestlers! Good Luck!

This is a great tournament for kids starting out, it was my youngest sons first tournament and he won and that was the greatest thing in the word for him. My oldest son a 6th grader decided to wrestle this year and we were looking forward to this tournament and it just so happened that it falls on his church Christmas play.

What a turnout. The place was packed. I was however disappointed when I saw beginners?????? running legs, cross body ride, saturday night ride 3/4 nelson, etc. Either those are the next big thing in wrestling, gifted or sombody can't read. I had two grandkids wrestling in their very first ever time on the mat and they did well for their first time out. Both won matches and one placed. So all in all a noisy, good time was had by all.

Unfortunatly, it is hard to monitor whether or not a kid is first or second year. You basically have to go by peoples word in most cases. I know the coaches and the tournament director do there best to keep everything honest! All you can do is hope others can be honest. If not and they are not honest and dominate I sure hope they feel good about what they did and if that is the only way there wrestler can succeed then so be it. They have to live with it, not the honest folks. However, I think there is much more honest folks than truth strechers.
Warren has a bunch of good folks running their tournaments and I am from the rival High School. It pains me....lol

Thanks for the kind words otter and thank you to all who came out and helped us have another very succesful tournament! Thanks for your support.

We did have a great turnout, over 300 kids showed up ready to wrestle and hopefully all of them had fun and gained some valuable experience on the mat. We wrestled over 500 matches on the day in about 6 hours and finished things up by around 4:30.
