[blindkid] Wrestling

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Becky:

     It has been a long time since I wrestled. If I recall correctly, the 
rules are that if a blind person is wrestling, that contact cannot be broken 
during the match. The other thing is that someone will need to show your son 
the various moves. He may have to feel someone in the various positions. If 
someone gives a good verbal description of what is needed he ought to be 
able to follow the instructions. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert
