It seems that in todays society we are pushing our kids harder and harder all the time. Some kids don't even have time to be kids anymore. I have always voted against 6U at state and will continue to do so. 6U kids are stil babies, I,m afraid that if we let them in there will be some who cut weight at their parents request, Some will be pushed to hard to young and burn out and stop wrestling. When I wrestled kids back in the 70's no one talked about 6U going to the state tournament, They are to young and don't need to be put under that intense pressure. As for makin it happen because some people want it, Some people wanted Kerry to be president, Some people don't want to pay taxes the list goes on and on. We have bylaws and rules in Kansas wrestling that state one club one vote, This issue gets voted down by a large margin year after year. Last year it was 70% against allowing it. I think if you talk to experienced wrestling people they will overwhelmingly be against this. These kids have many more years to mnake it to state. Give them something to look forward to,Let them have fun and LEARN the sport,LEARN how to win and lose humbly. I believe the reason the numbers are down in wrestling is because parents now a days have the win at all costa attitude, They don't allow their kids to have fun, They push them too hard' And many don't accept losing with a humble attitude. Just take a look at any tournament across the state a lot of parents act like this is life and death,. It seems to me that it is worse when the kids are young because parents don't understand the sport yet. Why push these kids and take a chance of burning them out. I would rather watch my son wrestle as a senior in High school when it meens something than as a 6 year old when they should just be having fun
