How low should we go? How young?

Smokey, that is too funny!!!! You know, your example actually makes better sense than what they have listed, haha!!! Good luck this weekend.

Dang, how I miss the former "Midget Division".
My son always knew why they called them Midgets until some politically correct group came along! Oh the memories of Midget Wrestling!

And when they get up to a certain age they go back to another diaper division.

Smokey,

Why Stop??? How about the infant division??? Some infants develop faster than others so there should be no minimum age restriction. If the kid can support the weight of it's own head they are in. Here's how it would work... have a small mat at weigh-ins. Set them on the mat, if they can raise their head they move on to skin & nails check, then to the scale. All tournaments and especially the KS Infant State Tournament of Champions should require shoulder to shoulder (or stroller to stroller) weigh ins. The bracket sizes should not exceed 32 man.

Coach,

The most important thing is to get these youngsters to continue wrestling all the way through high school, and for the best of the bunch another level above that. If you have a wrestler that has the tools early on but doesn't compete or complete a high school career, what does it really matter how good they were when they were in diapers? There are exceptions for a number of reasons and I get that. I just want parents and coaches to know that early success does not always lead to a productive high school career (or beyond).
