Wrestling is the Fairest Sport for EVERY child: 

Kids will wrestle other kids of approximately the same age and weight. For example, in Youth Wrestling, the age categories are 6 and under; 8 and under; 10 and under; 12 and under. Ages for tournaments are generally determined by the child's age as of 1/1 of that current seasons year. Weight classes are in five pounds increments (for example the 65 pound weight class would include kids from 61 to 65 pounds). It assures the kids only wrestle against kids their size. In tournaments you will find 3 different types: 1st year, Novice, and Open. Novice Tournaments are for kids with only 1 to 2 years of experience, where an Open Tournament is for kids with 3 or more years.
