most 6 year olds drop out because people like you push and push aan push until they say it's not worth it . Or maybe as kids get older they start doing what they want instead of what their parents want them to do. Most 6 year olds care less about state but it sure means a lot to the parents. Maybe you should find a club that shares your views and join it. How did your own club vote on this issue? I have went to every meeting for the last 6 years and will continue to go every year until my son is out of wrestling. again 6 year olds are not excluded from state your friends boy sure wasn't. No one is deprived of anything. No family is deprived of sending their kids to subdistricts. In Missouri they don't even let you go to subs until their 7, I don't see people crying about it on their web site. Only the dedicated true wrestlers wrestle through high school those are the kids that need to be showcased. Good attend the meeting take part in the discussion help kansas wrestling grow instead of just complaining about it.
