i am a father of a 6 and under wrestler and though it would be great fun to take him to state i would rather just have a 6 and u championship meet like in ottawa. it was a good time. they did it up like at state with less the crowd, less the time, less the hassle. my son took 2nd and the felt like he was world champ!!!these kids are young enough they don't care where they wrestle. they will get to go to state in due time.they have alot to learn still.(a least most of them) let them have fun because it is for the KIDS!!!!
