Spex makes a valid point in that if we don't support our own there is a possiblity that our own will cease to exist. The numbers of kids attending these out-of-state tournaments is far too high percentage wise, for the numbers wrestling. I think often times new parents hear that if you want to get good you have to travel farther away and it simply isn't true. It not only happens with out-of-state tournaments but we also see clubs not supporting other club's tournaments, within their own districts. I say, if at all possible, keep your dollars in state and support our fellow Kansas clubs. If you have a wrestler who is needing more challenges then bump them up a weight class or age group. If you have one that is still winning after doing that, then take them as far and wide as your pocketbook will allow.
