Easy solution...get rid of subs all together, Districts the weekend after High School State, get rid of High School Division if the numbers continue to be poor, Kids State Two Weeks after High School State. Get to Freestyle/Greco.
Chad, I suggested getting rid of subs several years ago. BUT, doing so would require one or more of the following to occur in order to be accomplished...
1. Re-districting in order to get a more even distribution of competitors.
2. The elimination of the high school/16U division (which if done should include adding the 6U division)
3.The split of the district tournament between weekends and possibly host clubs.
All that said, I would bet you money, marbles or chalk that if the Kids State date is moved up, you will have clubs hosting folkstyle invitationals after State and most likely more tournaments earlier in the Fall.
And none of this will effect FS/GR numbers or participation!
