Middle School Madness

Posted by confusedparent on 3/10/2025, 11:00 pm

I was at a wrestling match last week at Cavelero in Lake Stevens. My middle school wrestler was supposed to have 2 matches but Centennial middle school from Snohomish got to the gym and decided to not wrestle right away. They just sat in the chairs for over an hour while 2 of the other 3 teams wrestled. When they did wrestle, they pretty much had a full lineup too. Super strange.

Why in the world would a coach choose to sit and watch wrestling instead of having his kids wrestle. Poor kids looked bored to death. Can't be good for the kids or the sport.

WTH?

Yes, finding people who care about your middle school battle royale is going to be difficult. My suggestion would be to talk to your Coach and maybe ask them if they know what's going on. If they don't know, just do your best to sleep at night. I am sure the Lake Stevens Coaches are looking forward to having your crazy ass in their program for the next four years.

Get your son in a club, freestyle, folkstyle, greco he will get all the mat time he needs/wants.Middle school wrestling is for the most part introductory and most of the top kids are bored also. Much like HS varsity tennis where the best kids either don't play or only play a year or two because other than the social aspect it doesn't benefit them.
