5th - 6th grade (12U)
7th - 8th grade (14U)
9th - 12th (HS)
Problem solved.


Sounds good, but what about red-shirted kids, 15 year old that is an 8th grader, where would he fall? The 7th and 8th grade division? The way it is now, this would be High School no questions asked. This plan would cause more problems.

I don't see a problem that needs to be solved.


The 15 year old red shirt would have to wrestle HS. Really, change the dob to January 1. Use the USA wrestling age groups and rules and get away from this modified crap.

In the solution above it would be easy though, you tell the 15 year old he has to wrestle in the HS division. They are the EXCEPTIONS and our rules are aimed at the majority.
