Where can we get details for this?

There are 3 level to this:
- kid is in school early (Graduate at 17)
- kid is in school in the optimal grade (Graduate at 18)
- kid is in school and can not repeat grade and compete (hold-back) (Graduate at 19)
There are about 10 different variables that go into parents holding their kids back. Some parents weight variables higher than others! There is no right answer, but simply what is BEST for the kid!
Every situation is different!
In my situation, my son was put in school too early (category 1 on this list). In the 2nd grade he was doing poorly on the educational pillars (Math and Reading). So after winter break, we decided for him to be put back in the 1st grade putting him, using my verbiage, in the optimal grade. Optimal may not be the best term to use in this situation, just what i came up with.
Again, every situation is different. As a parent who has worked in schools for over the last 24 years as a coach and/or staff member, I see parents (especially males) putting their kids in school later more than in the past.
Best wishes to all!

The Star used to name the area “super teams” for all sports.
I’m not sure what they do now. I had to give it up a few years ago. I got a new carrier and they never put the paper in my paper box or in my yard. Instead it always ended up in one of my neighbor’s yard or in the road or across the street. I had to search for it every day. I called the office several times to try to straighten it out but to no avail. And then they raised my rate. I decided it wasn’t worth the hassle anymore.
Too Funny.
If you can hear this gif, you had a GREAT childhood:

Gotta love those peeps with mult accounts on a website lol. Anyways. I was looking at how the wrestling community handled the last global pandemic, you know the one in 2009 for H1N1.? I can’t find any findings. Maybe you can enlighten us on how it was handled back then. And I’m in a plane for the 10th time in 12 weeks as we speak. Maybe I should just play the lottery when I get back home. Anyways, you have been enough entertainment during my flight. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Multiple accounts? Too Funny! Some folk.
Best Wishes to our multiple accounters. lols

Your right, without a qualifier like PA,OH,IL, everyone has a possible chance here in IN. So anything can happen. However, past success is the best predictor for future success. Some of these predicted champs have won 4,5,6 straight ISWA state championships. I believe some upsets will happen, but cream always rises, and those who have been tested in Tulsa, Super 32, VAC Gold brackets, USAW,....Indiana’s MS State is not a stage most of these talented wrestlers will be lacking in experience. I can personally attest this may be one of the most accomplished 6th grade classes IN has seen.
Agreed! "The NATIONAL youth Circuit" def. tests like no other!
Kudos to Coaches and organizers for providing IN Kids opportunities to get better on the MAT!

well you would be wrong but it isn't the first time and it sure won't likely be the last time. the policy has always been listed at MS state but as i previously stated the last couple of years a precedent has been set as several kids have signed up that had already wrestled as 8th graders and were repeating the grade. i am sure i don't need to tell you about this since you always know everything all the time.
Thank you Jason. I am 100% sure that with the IHSCWA this issue will be addressed!
Thank you for the personal comments. I'm not the one to retaliate. I just want what is best for Indiana wrestling!
Best wishes to you and yours!

From last year’s flyer:
ELIGIBILITY:
This tournament is open to any wrestler in grades 6th – 7th & 8th enrolled in an Indiana Middle School who has not completed at least one year of 8th Grade.My guess is this change was made to coincide with the change that was not communicated at the ISWA elementary duals this year regarding birth year.
I'm sure these two changes work hand in hand.

The FIWC has an updated schedule. Come train with some of the BEST youth wrestlers in the STATE! Anyone from any club available anytime! $7 drop-ins is one of the lowest rates you will find.
Coach Brandon Wright is running the show.

Bryan Bailey @Brey and his boys have made their marks on the mat. With that said, Bryan is currently providing more opportunities for more kids than any single person that I know of here in Indiana. The Baileys are the best wrestling family going. Just sayin
Agreed! Bryan Bailey has done more in providing opportunities for kid in Indiana than any other person I know in my short span as a wrestling parent.
Here is a list of Duals that my son has cut his teeth on over the last 5-6 years with opportunities from Coach Bryan Bailey:
1. West Penn Duals (PA) - 2st weekend of Nov
2. Turkey Burp Dual (PA) - 3rd weekend of Nov
3. Outlaw Duals (IN) - 1st weekend of Dec
4. Christmas Duals (Sparty) (MI) 2/3 weekend of Dec
5. Defense Soap Duals (OH) 3rd weekend of Dec
6. Dixie National Duals (GA) 3rd weekend in Dec
7. NUWAY National Duals (KY) 1st weekend in Jan
8. Walton-Verona Bearcat Brawl (KY) 2nd weekend in Jan
9. Wadsworth Duals (OH) 3rd weekend in Jan
10. West Virginia Duals (WV) 4rth weeken in Jan
11. Lee Paulmalak Duals (IA) 1st weekend in April
12. AAU National Elem Duals (TN) 2nd Weekend in April
13. Viper Pit (OH) 2/3rd weekend in April
14. NHSCAs Virginia Beach Duals (VA) 3rd weekend in May
15. Olivet Duals (MI) Sometime in June
16. Grand River Rumble (MI) 2nd weekend in July
This is only 16 opportunities.....I'm sure if I were to ask, Bailey could provide 16 more. Opportunities like these are how to IMPROVE.
Brian has told me since we met that he wants to get Indiana BETTER on the MAT! I can definitely say that he is providing opportunities for Indiana kids to get BETTER on the MAT with Dual Opportunities, Practices, and Camps (Latora Leg Camp).
*Keep your eyes on this NASTY Disney Dual Team that will be competing in Orlando mid June.
