I do not necessary oppose a 6 & under state but think it ought to be in February and then their season could be over after a couple of months. I like Mr. Hinderliter's idea about demonstrations for the younger kids. I have read the comments and like the discuss.

I think that it is short sighted for a kid to start specializing in one sport at the age of 6, 8 or 10. You eliminate the enjoyment of other activities. Also, I have read articles and Mr. Sayler has posted information on the physical damages specialization of one sport at an early age can do to a body.

My suggestions is to limit the length of the season for the younger kids to try to avoid too much overlap with the other sports and give them a break. A long season for a 6, 8, or 10 year old may lead to burning them out, and not just in wrestling, but all sports.
