District II has been pushing to add 6&U at state the other three districts have been apposed.
Now not everyone in district II is in favor nor are all the people in the other districts apposed. But last year we voted for 6&U at state and it got turned down 70% to 30%. This year was the first state meeting without discussing it and it was nice.
The main reason everyone used was it put to much pressure on the 6 yr. olds to wrestle at state."
This was 14-20 years ago - when 14 & under - 16 & under were there own division. We did not even have a school boy dual team in 2003.
Since then more people and volunteers have been run off - participation numbers are down, I am still trying to find the minutes from the last 3 state board meetings, I can not make a proposal by March 15th (which is the new by-law date) because information from the last meetings has not been available for the state body to make an informed proposal. I am watching a once solid organization self destruct - there are many people with good intentions - but some are not willing to listen to those who have stood the test of time and put forth ____________ _______________ energy.
