On the finals match of mat 2 (8 and under!) apparently police had to be called to the mat!?!? We were sitting on the other side and didn't see what was happening but what a disgrace to the sport that police have to be called to mat - especially 8 and under! And I bet that it wasn't because the kids were out of control. Hopefully names were taken and these coaches / parents won't be seen at subs. When does USAWKS step in and get this kind of activity out of wrestling because I agree that no kids, no matter what age, should have to witness parents /coaches behaving like this!

And for parents/coaches shoving kids into things at wrestling tournaments - there might just be a "mandated reporter" witnessing this. And they, by law, have to report such incidents to the authorities. There is never a reason to shove a kid over a wrestling match! If you as a parent/coach are not a mandated reporter - become one! Report these incidents to tournament officials immediately.
