I don't think my kids would wrestle if it wasn't fun for them. THEY choose when to go to practice and what tournaments they want to go to. We learned the hard way. I don't know why everybody is getting upset about kids practicing outside of practice. Every other sport they do it. How many pick-up games of football, baseball, softball, etc. have you done with your kids? I know we have. It's for fun, but it is also giving them extra practice. There is no difference. My two kids, one boy and one girl, wrestle all the time in the living room. Granted it may not be legal moves all the time...lol. But still, there is no difference. I have to agree with both Greg and Jeff.
