Eighty percent of the posters on this forum are die hard wrestling fans that are very passionate about this sport. Schroeder, I know your little guy. I don't think he will burn out. He and many of the other kids who have dad's that post are the exception to the rule. I agree that 6U should have a shortened season. The ten or twenty percent that are ready to go on can continue to wrestle 8U, but for the most part 6U should be done by now. I don't believe getting rid of 16U is the answer. Crap, Jake will be there in 8 years, and I want him to wrestle as long as he wants to. The 16U have put in their time let them wrestle, I was able to wrestle kids as a Jr. in high school and loved it. We need to come together as a whole and figure out a way to make 6U work. Personally I like Will's ideas on how to shorten the season and give the kids the recognition they deserve.
