My son has wrestled folkstyle only for the last 11 years (and has been pretty successful). His coach would like him to try Freestyle in Fargo next month. What tips can you give a novice Freestyle mom? Specific questions are:

Can he register/walk up to registration or does he have to be part of a club?
Is he going to get killed? (he's a 160 lb Cadet)
Does he have to purchase a specific singlet?
Are there any training/workout opportunities in the NW Metro?

THANKS!!

I would also add my tip of make sure he learns the rules. Makes sense they would say freestyle and not greco as freestyle is more similar to folkstyle than greco but different enough that makes it important to know and understand how to score, what is the point value, how passivity works (aka - what does it mean to be on the shot clock) and how a winner is determined with a tie score. Understanding the style is important to his success.
