I believe for a lot of people the main issues are freedom of choice and money. Wrestling is an expensive sport. As Mr. Furches has said in a prior post, there are times when to afford wrestling, family vacations only occur in conjunction with a wrestling tournament. I personally cannot afford to send my son to 3 or 4 camps a summer. I picked the camps my son went to this summer with my budget in mind. We went to 2 day camps and it cost us less than $200 in registration fees and about $100 more for gas and food. Yes, I am sure my son would rather go to Hays for an overnight camp, its a lot more fun. But, we have a good camp like that in this part of the state in Baldwin. This may not be a hugh issue with Southern Plains being in New Mexico, but I heard it may move to Kansas. Then it becomes a hugh issue. I would probably have to chose a camp closer to home and just not go to Southern Plains if the requirement remains the same. IS THIS WHAT THEY WANT. TO STOP KIDS FROM PARTICIPATING in summer wrestling?? Its already tough for the younger kids to participate in freestyle and greco. It competes against soccer (which is great preparation for wrestling - gets the kids in great shape and they love it) and there are few tounaments where the younger kids are treated well. Many times they are grouped into a 14 and under group. Kind of tough for a 10 or 11 year old. Making the camp a requirement just makes participation lower. Thats what is happening. I understand the camp in question is good, if so, it will stand on its own. It shouldn't need this requirement. We should have the right to choose what is appropriate for our own kids and if we cannot afford the camp still be able to go to a tournment. My last family vacation was in Hutchison at a wrestling tounament, but it was my choice, no one elses. I posted this because I believe all of our opinions are important. Agree or disagree post your views, this issue should not be allowed to go away until it has been throughly debated.
