6 and under is our lifeblood and it will keep this sport growing!
Really? The life blood? 6 year olds? We're in trouble!
Do the 6U (who have the most participants and parental support)have to wait their turn or their shot at competing when every other age group in the wrestling room has an opportunity to compete at this higer level?
If they do not want to compete at Ottawa, the answer to your question is Yes. They have to wait. Just like my 11 year old has to wait to drive.
What is the rush? The athletes that you are talking about will have more opportunities to go to State then they have had birthdays so far! They will get there chance. I guarantee you most of the kids in this age group are not missing state & do not risk burn out if they do not get to go to state until they are 8/under. The desire for some of you parents to have your 6 year old compete at State at this very early age may however be a contributing factor to burn out. I strongly recommend to you that are pushing so hard for this to get your hands on a copy of the movie Reversal. That movie changed my entire outlook on the sport and hopefully I will be in the stands when my sons are in High School cheering them on.
