Parents reclassifying their kids for sports is getting out of hand. We are at a wrestling tournament in Virginia Beach

It is absolutely nuts how much is being spent on youth sports

NIL will probably make it worse

I’m not sure it moves the needle much further than scholarships have.

For boys starting school a year later is actually really good for academics,

So messed up, especially in a sport like wrestling. You should only be able to reclassify up and compete against old kds

Yeah I think for the most part a lot of kids eventually catch up. I think with boys I’ve noticed the biggest difference

Lots of parents holding back 1 year here in Utah. Haven’t heard of 2. Ridiculous
