If anyone is in doubt that six year old are ready for a state tournament needs to go watch the Ottawa 6 & u state championships. The numbers wre huge. These little kids wrestled their butts off. The Ottawa club did a great job! And a great turnout. I saw 2 64-man brackets and 5 0r 6 32-man brackets. Some of these kids wrestled WAY too many matches in one day! It was a very long day though. We left after the 55# finals and that was around 6pm. I think it would be better if the 6 &u were added to big state tournament. Then it could be a two day event.
