[quote=Anonymous]Parent of wrestling and just wanted to add two things.  Wrestling teams/coaches are extremely welcoming and I suspect you could find a local club that would allow your child to start with them now.  Practices have been underway for a few weeks but the season does not start until early January so it may not be too late, at least for practices.  But here is something to consider -- and I am a big advocate for wrestling which is a great sport for shorter kids -- you mentioned in your original post that your son does not want to do team sports because he feels inferior.  Well most everyone feels inferior with wrestling at the start.  It is a sport where there are clear winners and losers and where you can lose a match very fast.  Just about all wrestlers lose a lot at the beginning (not all but most) so that might be something to think about.  Everyone involved (and the coaches are generally great) are very supportive but lots of kids do not like the fact that someone loses every match.  No ties.  [/quote]
