I don't understand why there is a decision to make. This will shorten the 6U season for the majority of the kids. With the majority not wrestling the remaining 6U season will automaically be shortened. I wish the season would have been this short when Jake was in 6U. He was ready to be done in Feb. but we kept him in it mid-March just to finish with "State". Preach all you want about being the parent and knowing when to stop, but it is not always that easy. This helps the decision process by taking it away.

The reason so many 6U drop off is because you have to buy a USA card to practice. Alot of these kids buy a card, practice a few weeks or a few months and decide that this sport is not for them. This is a rough sport and it is not for everyone. I don't think they drop out at 8U because they were pushed as 6U. They drop out because it is a Tough Sport, and the majority of kids are not tough.

This is good for the sport, I will be voting for it.
