VanFam7,

I have never been to a meeting of our association, so I don't actually know how the discussion goes. I would guess however that the practical aspect of resource limitations that I referred to in above post probably has a great deal to do as to why we do not have six & under at State right now. If they were included, you would have even longer waits between matches and even more wrestling age groups would be put on smaller mats. I do believe people are being very sincere when they say that they do not believe most 6 & unders or their families are ready for it. As you go on in wrestling I believe you will find that the success that they achieve in the older age groups will be more significant to their ultimate success as a wrestler. But I really do feel the limited resources have a lot to do with it.

I think if a large group of you really want to see a sanctioned 6 & under State Championship that you would have a better chance of getting the Ottawa or some alternative site designated as the official State 6 & under championship. I just don't see them trying to stretch out the resources of the State tournament even more with another age group.
