I don't understand why everyone wants to dictate what the 6 and under season should be for everyone. If some parents don't like the length on the season all they have to do is not sign up for tournaments. My son would be disapointed if we had to go to tournaments the remainder of the year for our older child and he didn't get to wrestle. I believe the benefit to kids wrestling is that you can wrestle as little or as much as you want to. There is no one out there making the 6 and unders wrestle at every tournament if they don't want to. Let the individual parent decide what is right for the own children.
