Soccer?

I cannot wait till my son is old enough to wrestle! I did it for 6 years and I hope he'll like it too....... but if he wants to do something else, that will be ok. Do your kid/kids play soccer? Mine do, but the thing is the school won't sponsor it regardless of the vast popularity of it. And that stinks. What weight does your son wrestle at? Good job at teaching them respect...... more and more TEAMS are losing that I think.

True...I just want to support them in whatever they want to do. I was lucky enough to have Wrestling put me through college so of course I would like the same opportunities for them. They both wrestle and the 12 year old plays Baseball and the 9 year old plays Soccer. Problem is that even though Soccer is getting bigger all the time you don't have the infrastructure and youth programs in place that other countries have. ESP in rural areas. AAU is a great program but schools need to be more involved but like you but just cannot get the funding they need. Same goes for wrestling. Hard to compete with the American T.V. sports market. The divisions are by year and weight in AAU. They wrestle in MIDGET (70 lbs) and novice (90 lbs)...I also ref the tots (5-6 year olds) THAT is crazy...little kids running all over the mat...lmao€
