Whether this thing passes or not, I really don't care. I have two more boys, one who has wrestled two years and will still qualify as U6 if he chooses to wrestle this year, and the other one being three and a half. My wife tells me that the three and a half year old will be a very good wrestler (can't debate her and win, if you know what I mean).

My first son wrestled three seasons and it just wasn't his deal. My second should be starting his first High School season this year after toiling nine season on the Kid's circuit. You already know about my third and fourth based on the information I provided above. To date, the most accomplished of the four didn't wrestle in the Kid's State series of tournaments until he was eight. I wouldn't change a thing, and the younger ones will have to wait to wrestle in the State qualifying tournaments (if they are wrestling) until they are in the U8 bracket.
