Went I put up my first post on this I was thinking as the father of a 13 year old. But, now thinking back and looking at the posts above, maybe we should end the 8U and 10U early. I have seen alot of 6U and 8U kids burn out by the middle of February. Yes, I know there are exceptions. There always will be, but for the majority of the young ones the season is too long. And, even if their season ended in February, they can still practice and start Freestyle/Greco. Plus they can hit some of the national tournaments we cannot hit because we are in our state series. If their season ended the week before High School Regionals, you would have room to add 6U to State. Then could have the 12 and 14's all on full size mats at their state. Maybe an 18U to try and get a version of Grand State. Plus this would solve the Wichita/Topeka debate - one in each city. The young kids would get to watch High School State. This is the only way to add 6U's to state. Otherwise there is no space.
