Proud Grandpa here...kid's single leg and hand ties are very advanced for 10 months, I have high hopes...

You better get that spladle and cement mixer in his head at a young age. This is a critical period. 6 months and he'll be ready for the flying squirrel.

Grew up in a town nicknamed "M-Town" and made my forum name in high school... Now I'm five years past that and coaching at a different school so my colleagues make sure to rip M-Town Fan's posts and predictions every chance they get

In my opinion the spladle is a dangerous move, if you are going to teach it to young kids make sure that they do it right. Too many refs don't check if it stays legal.

Maybe all of us who have become Grandpas (And Grandmas) since we became part of this form, Should change to having Grandpa or Grandma to our screen name.

You guys are making me feel old, especially since I have them and my old coach / teacher (fish) doesn't yet?

ElectricGrandpa

Thats the first move I teach my kids. Can't wrestle if you don't know how to do the spladle.

Yes, of course. Still, if an 8-year-old can chain together 6-8 moves sequentially, I'd say they might be competitive by high school. especially if the moves are complex enough and of a low percentage nature, so as to maximize the surprise effect.

well some maybe a tad ticked off at that comment. He is a very young 8th grader and if I would have listened to my wife the educator he would have been in 7th but I wear the pants in the family because my wife says I can

now if you were refering to me as to how many times I was in 8th grade that might be a head scratcher, not sure if I should have repeated or the teachers just couldnt wait to move me along. have never got that answer!!!!!!!

though I did go to high school for 4 1/4 years. Had to take that dreaded summer school to get that diploma

my son gets his smarts from his mom, thank goodness and his looks, demeanor and about anything good is from his mom. I was happy that he was quoting beavis and butthead the other day so their is some influence deep down somewhere in the little, little guy

this is a long winded story that I had to toss in if anyone cared

when my daughter was little I always held her hand while in parking lots, crossing roads and such. this extended into latter elemtary school. I always said the cars might not see you but I am much bigger than a deer so your safer with me. over protecting dad I am.

so years latter my son came along and I would do the same thing with him but at a very early age he was the typical boy and said he dont need my stinkin hand and the deer story didnt hit home. So being the over protective dad I was I re invented the hold the hand for safety across parking lots and streets into you have to have hand control to do such things. My sons hand went directly into mine without any question and I was back being an over protecting dad or proud dad, one of the other. That lasted until latter elementary school also, then he wised up and said his head, hand and feet defense would take care of any danger. guess I couldnt argue with that.
