Hopefully these kids do not get burned out, but you will be astonished at the level of wrestling for 8 and unders (even if they are nine now). This is kind of the battle of champions between two little ones who have been tearing it up....
I remember watching the kid that won it drilling TD's at age five like a pro. And nobody was pushing him either, he was just a machine..... and enjoying himself.

I remember when Reni was six and wrestling just locally, and just tearing everybody up, then we went to a tournament and ran into one of those "kinds" of six year olds. Reni didn't know what hit her and I am thinking what the hell.... six year olds aren't supposed to be running that kind of technique.

I coach at the youth level, and it is amazing what the kids can do. I have a 11 year old that is hitting moves that I didn't hit until my sophomore and Jr year. He also has been running the legs for three years and is cranking on kids with them. This off season he has started free style with a litle Greco built in. I can't wait untill he's in high school to see what he will do.
