    If you’re interested in quality matches and not awards, then wrestle a gang of exhibition matches. That’s been our experience, anyway. We had one kid wrestle 10 matches in one day at an in state USA wrestling tournament. They don’t turn down matches like that. We even had a 182 pounder wrestle exhibitions all the way up to heavyweight. I think they don’t let kids bump around due to USA Wrestling rules and guidelines. That doesn’t have to determine whether or not you attend tournaments, though, if what you’re wanting are quality matches. If you can see what kids are entered and are wanting those matches, it’s still worth it to go.

    I'd pay money to see blue vs white.

    Completely agree with Braves coach. I don’t mind spending money if it’s worth it. We don’t really care about a medal, we are looking for beneficial match ups. We travel around the Nation all the time, but prefer the ones with several of good matches.

    Wrestledad, I can appreciate your view on supporting in state events however, this can be an expensive sport. Expense is relative to each family so I only consider value. If we travel to a very small in state event and cannot get at least a couple of competitive matches then this is not a good value. Some people are only chasing awards. I would rather my kids get really good competetion . The fact that the tournament director will not allow wrestling up divisions to get better competetion means there is almost no value in attending these events.

    I am all about supporting other camps, however if we are taking about an almost 8 hour trip there & back, I like to make sure it’s worth the trip.

    Here is the problem with that scenario. You split School and Club teams apart you have Neutered our sport state wide. The best of of our kids are in both club and school teams. In order to wrestle a Club tornament the scholl would have to still have the USA cards. This means the scholl teams get less mat time especially the schools locked in central who are not on a border that can travel over state lines.If we want our sport to grow we need to stop the infighting about club VS. team and work with what we have. We will not grow if we stay stagnate, we have some of the best raw talent in the country yet a lot goes under developed for just these types of reasons. JUST MY OPINION.
