With Greco and Freestyle just around the corner, at what age group are the 5- point throws legal? More importantly what throws are illegal and at what age group? Thanks! |

This will have to be answered by someone else. I do not officiate nor know the rules about FR/Greco. Iowan - you do a lot of FS/Grecto maybe you can answer this one? |

Honestly not sure that there's an age limitation to 5's but can't tell you that for sure as I don't pay as much attention to the rules for schoolboys on down. From the rulebook 5 points: - all high amplitude throws executed in a standing position which bring the defending wrestler to a direct and immediate danger position - the hold executed by a wrestler in the “par terre” position who completely lifts his opponent off the ground with the execution of a grande amplitude throw which projects the opponent into a direct and immediate danger position |

As Chris stated, there is no limitation to 5 point throws at any age. The criteria for "high-amplitude" throws is that there is a complete loss of control by the defending wrestler and the feet "scribe an arc" through the air. There are not as many 5 pt throws at the lower levels because strength and technique are not as developed for most wrestlers. Obviously, there are exceptions, but that is usually the case. Also, front-to-back suplees and front-to-front saltos are not allowed at the School Boy level and below. Throws from both of those situations can often lead to "high amplitude" throws, but they can put both the wrestlers' heads and necks in danger and are therefore not allowed until Cadet and above. Situations that can lead to high amplitude can include a "deep double" where the defenders legs are swept out and up over the head or an arm spin or shoulder throw where the defending wrestler is taken from their feet...over the back of the offensive wrestler...to their own back. Personally, I have awarded a handful of 5 point throws for School Boys, two 5 point throws for novice age wrestlers and none below that. Both Novice throws were at Northern Plains. I have seen them awarded at the Intermediate level, but not Pee Wee. |
