It is up to the clubs to vote on - Yes or NO 6 & under state tournament series. It is not up to the parents unless they start their own club, get sanctioned and pay their fees as a USAWKS sanctioned organization. I believe it is great to get kids exposed (a few tournaments during novice and then they are done)to the sport at 5 and 6 years old, teach them the fundementals, let them grow into the sport and wait for their opportunity to go to a state tournament. If all the decisions were strictly left up to the parents to decide then there wouldn't be any need for coaches, club directors and the state body. If the parents want to make a big change they had better be willing to spend a several hundred hours a year helping out with tournaments, practice, and going to meetings. I can except either vote - I just do not believe we are doing the "Right Thing" for the sport or the kids long term.
