I can't help but mention that one of the best wrestling states in the nation Pennsylvania makes all of this impossible to be an issue.
1. Must wrestle for the schools wrestling program in which you attend and or reside, if no such program exists you may wrestle for the next closest program in proximity.
2.Age based series 8u 10u 12u and now this year jr. High. 7, 8 ,9 as long as you were not on a varsity roster.
3.8th grade red shirts were allowed to compete in state series without losing high school eligibility.
I know there are clubs in ks that are not affiliated with a school directly but we have those here. You will not see a kid in any pa state tournament registered as Young Guns or Pitt Bull they can practice with them all year but at state series they are signed up with there school.
