after the last year of 6 and under most of the kids will struggle every other year due to being on the young side of the age group. Yeah you have some kids that are good but most will fall down then when they get on the older side they will win again. My son is 7 now and wrestling 6 and under. he will move up to 8 and under next year and will fall down and take his lumps. he will win some and lose probably alot. then the next year he will be back on the older side and probably win quite a bit more than lose. I do agree that some of those kids that excel early will eventually get caught by the late bloomers. I talked this over with Sonny Manly who wrestled at Nebraska back in the day. He was a big 8 champ if you must know that lol. He told me its good to teach them a few moves and let them perfect them at the early age and until they perfect it dont show them all the fancy moves. The will learn something year after year and progress where as those that already know it will not progress like that. they hit that early and stay the same. now i know this is not every kid but it is majority.
