Couple of corrections to the above post. Permission from the ms principal is mandatory. The coach may deny you as far as that team is concerned but you only need the principal's permission. Can not skip any ms competition for anything youth.(Practice is not considered a competition: In order for an ...

I have been watching these posts and have done a lot of thinking about it. I am a part of the new WVYWA that has been formed and I know that this has been discussed in our meetings. Since it has been discussed, that means we know it goes on. Our rules have been written in such a way to try to stave ...

What about 11 and 12 year old middle school wrestlers? Are 12U wrestlers in middle school exempted from the qualifiers able to wrestle in the 12u youth divisions? If a wrestler is 12U and in middle school, that wrestler has a choice. They can either wrestle the middle school division or the 12U div...

In the OVAC 6th graders are not allowed to compete because Ohio still considers 6th grade as elementary, so you will never see a 6th grader place at OVACs. Its a shame too, because a lot of them could at least place. As for WSAZ you are right in that most of the younger wrestlers are placing at the ...

justawrestlingfan very true. What would be nice is to see a venue where all of our middle school kids could have the opportunity to wrestle each other or at the very least our conference placers.

Here is the list of teams for the John Marshall Invitational

Buckhannon-Upsure
Calhoun
East Fairmont
McGuffey
Oak Glen
Ravenswood
Ripley

6th grade champs? It is a nice thought, but rarely do 6th graders who performed well on the community league level reach "top middle school wrestler" status as a 6th grader. While they may have done well against 11 and 12 years olds, varsity middle school wrestling is typically against 7t...

The Iron Eagles are a member team of the WVYWA. Their “Wreck the Halls” tournament is a base weight tournament to allow wrestlers who attend the opportunity to make their base weight for the regional tournament. Anthony Regalbuto is the Region 3 Chairman and will provide a scale for any youth wrestl...

No. I think they had to send them their lineups before they had wrestle offs. So their lineups weren't set yet.

Looks to me from talking to other coaches that some of the weight classes are a little mixed up especially the lighter weights. Some of the kids are in spots they shouldn't be and others aren't even mentioned. There are some Freshman that beat out some of the ranked wrestlers in wrestle offs in thei...

There is also a rule that allows students to compete for other schools in their district when that activity is not offered by their school.

BTW:
It is the Principals in the state that run the SSAC

Steps to getting a waiver to compete: 1. Get the Principal at Magnolia to get a ruling from the SSAC. The SSAC will rule against it since that is the rule. 2. Have the Principal file an appeal for a waiver. This is the reason the waiver rule is there. This will be brought to the executive committee ...

Response to this Question: My son is wrestling independent this year and I heard there is a point system to get into the state tournaments. Do I have to register him somewhere to get a wrestling number or something for the points system. Although we encourage your son to participate with the local c...

I have been asked to reply to the posts on this site. First I will answer the last set of questions: 1) I see regions. Does this mean you will have to place in a regional to qualify for states? Yes, In order to wrestle in the WVYWA state championships, the wrestler will need to place top 4 to qualif...
