I could not agree with you anymore, my 8yr old boy got jumped at a novice tournment, and its his second year...He had not placed at the Saturday tournement and went and wrestled the novice the next day... My son was very scared and intimadated by this person, and hides when he sees him at meets...Its not right...This coach told my husband that he is not a novice because he was pumping him self up before he got on the mat and that intimadated the kids he was wrestling ....My 8yr old will not go back to any novice tournments this year, we are done with it..The novice tournments sure dont have any problem on making that money we pay to have our kid in there tournments....THanks again for addressing it...Amiee
