One very important aspect to middle school wrestling is the team aspect. Up to this point they don't have any exposure to wrestling as a team. Which is very important in high school and college.

Also you have to have a good coach. And I don't mean a good football coach that fills in. I mean a good wrestling coach. Where I am from we have a great wrestling coach in middle school and an outstanding high school coach that work together for one goal.


Just a few years ago I frowned upon middle school because it took kids from a lot of matches. And it wasn't taken serious. If you add a good middle school coach it would solve a lot of peoples thoughts on middle school.

It has taken some time but things are looking up for Middle school.
