I believe you are wrong on this. Kid's wrestling tourneys don't border on child abuse, they actually are child abuse.In all honesty I think youth wrestling borders on child abuse.
[video=youtube;4XK52HUFBBw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XK52HUFBBw[/video]I went to the tournament in Gilbert last Friday. I must say, the trophies they give out are awesome. My kid wrestled in the K-2 division, and everyone got a trophy (size depended on place). Ran extremely well, and the young men who reffed were extremely patient with the wrestlers. Great job on their part.
Plus my kid got second, so mom and dad are proud of his effort.
I believe you are wrong on this. Kid's wrestling tourneys don't border on child abuse, they actually are child abuse.
Remember that when you send your kids to football practice.
I'm sure there are some that aren't on this list but here is a link with a lot and all the info you would need.
