 Re: what age?
It depends on the maturity level of your child. I started my younger sons at about 4 & 5.
They were following a older brother who didn't start wrestling until he was 10. The younger brothers grew up going to their big brother's matches and were excited to start wrestling.
Some kids are not ready to deal with wrestling at a young age. It is not that they are not physically ready but they may not be emotionally ready.
If you can find a good quality youth program and coach in your area I would say give it a try but make sure it is fun for him or it might discourage him from continuing in wrestling.
