What we are talking about is why kids do not finish the season as it is and/or why we see such a dramatic drop-off in the number of kids as their age progresses.
Does anyone have stats on what the drop-off rate as kids get older is in some of the other sports are? I quit basketball after 3rd grade, not because the season was long(it wasn't) not because my parents pushed me(they didn't) I quit because I wasn't good & I didn't like it! Look,kids start wrestling at an early age. Maybe, just maybe, kids are trying all kinds of different sports at these young ages to see which ones they like & maybe the kids that stop wrestling stop because they do not like to wrestle... What am I thinking? That is way too logical. They are quitting because the season is too long. Yep, that's definately it.
