only about 5-8% thats why there are weight divisions.

I agree with Toby!

Its really Just depends on his age/weight they are paired in weight class and divisions..there a five division. Division I, II, III, IV, V the Divisions are sort by age and along with the division there are many weight classes your son could wrestle in. If you have any other questions just ask.

It's important to go by age, weight, and ability level. We like to stay within 5lbs in the lighter weights, and the heavier weights can go up to a 15lb difference.

What does your son way and what does the boy closest in size to him weigh?

5 lbs depends on his ability

Age is the LAST thing that should be considered. Weight, experience, then ability sounds like a safe order.
