kylesdad - how old is your son? Is he 6U? Do you have any other children? From reading your comments, it seems to be that you are defending adding 6U to State only because you have a 6U.
Someone said earlier on this topic that using the numbers of kids in a category to justify adding 6U was wrong. I agree. Most 6U join wrestling, get their wrestling card and try the sport out. Many drop out their first year. Many others just go to a few tournaments. There are even some clubs that limit the number of tournaments a young child can go to so that they don't get burned out as they get bigger (and some of these clubs have excellent high school programs). There are only about 100-200 kids in 6U who are dedicated enough to go to all of the tournaments and to compete at the state level.
This has already been voted on and it wasn't even close. If it is voted on again this year, it will have the same result. So let's find something else to talk about.
