Back to this $50 a year wrestling, you said walk to practice for free, I see that as a great idea in the middle of winter and at nite, personally I would not let 5 to 10 year old walk to practice. Plus after that you would spend more in cold medicine.

As for the shoe thing most kids outgrow their shoes once a year; I bought little Nix shoes at the beginning of the year and they are already getting small.

And for club dues I don't believe most clubs pay half.

As for the $10 a day for a tournament that sounds good a father and son each get a hot dog and split a coke; and siphon gas to get home unless they walk to the tournament in the freezing cold.

Last but not least one tournament a season he will have as many tournaments in his kansas kids career as what most kids get in one year.

Yeah I guess your right if you live within one block of your practice room, the kids feet never grow, enter one tournament a year, catch a ride to that one tournament, and starve the day of the tournament.

Where do we sign little nix up we are ready to save money. lol
