Each kid has a 79% winning perentage: Each kid has been practicing the same amount of time. Which kid do you think has the advantage? [/QB][/QUOTE]

I'm not sure about other kids' clubs, but our kid's club definately doesn't get the quality, intensity, and amount of time of practice that our Jr. High wrestling program gets. Sure, the Jr. High may not wrestle as many matches, but their practice time is much more intense and more advanced than the kids wrestling practices. There was so much more improvement in my son's wrestling going from kid's to Jr. High, and I am not bagging our kid's club, it's just that sometimes there are so many kids at so many different levels that they don't get the attention they get in Jr. High. At times, there was more competition at the Jr. High level than the kid's club level. Our 12 & under as 7th graders are able to wrestle 8th graders that would be 14 & under. You need to support the Jr. High programs, and maybe they would get more kids out and be more competitive.
