I am the father in question here and I would like to say that I was approached, and I was asked if this ottawa kid had won first at cetain ternaments.My reply was no because he did in fact get third at one of the tournaments in question and second in another. This boy is 7 and only wrestled 3 tourneys last year which was his first year. I was not trying to direspect any body or club or wrestling in general. This boy also wrestled at 52 lbs and only weighs 41 lbs. Since he was to a big disadvantage due to weight and the fact that he wrestled for 1 month last year and 2 months this year I thought he would be considered a novice. I am sorry if a disrespected anybody. It won't happen again. Can somebody please share with me the guidelines for being a novice. I am a new coach for Ottawa and I appoligize for any embarassment to the ottawa club. Please don't look down on the ottawa team because they are a very well known and respected team.
