Wow...you people would die if your son wrestled. Many tournaments are straight weight...no age groups. Meaning a 10 year old can wrestle a 14 year old if they weigh the same. In Age group tournaments there can still be a 2 year gap. Toughen up a bit...your raising a bunch of excuse seekers. Summer Club teams are consistently different then Spring League teams and adding kids from different areas. Where have you been. Loonies 2020 has a FOGO from Florida. Breakers has 5-6 hold backs..FCA has same amount of hold backs. Go high jack there forum and tell them how they r ruining little Johnies lax experience because they are 13 and how they have to compete against a 14 year old.....imagine the horror.


Kids of different ages and same weight wrestling each other - I think most people would be ok with that, find a better example.

In age based tournaments, the A division is typically filled with the older teams and the B division the younger ones. Many tournaments provide this guidance. In the absence of something better people need use these guidelines and hope that others follow as well, which is not always the case.

Don't know about holdbacks on FCA or Breakers, just know that I have never seen them bring in 5 older kids from an older team just to win a tournament. If the Looneys "FLOGO" is age appropriate who cares where he lives?
