shorten the season for who? us and the kids who like the season the way it is. coaches, and parents know when its time to hang it up for the season for there child. If you thinks it's to long why not start them later in the season, stop them eairler in the season, or half as many tournament or practices.
My son is 5 and he is loving it the prctice, running and as many tournaments as our budget will allow, as i am sure there are a lot of other kids that are not burned out.
one more thing before i leave this post ! I have seen alot of coaches and parents when the kid wins first thing out of there mouth is you should have done this or that what ever happened to good job first. and what about the kid who looses, the coach or parents yell at him making him feel small, ask yourself this if you are so smart and good at wrestling, why was you not a national champion oops because you was not that good!!! this is intended for those who do this AND TO THE GELTLEMAN WON'T MENTION HIS NAME THAT A WAS ARGUEING WITH ABOUT YELLING AND DEGRADING HIS SON, YOU KNOW WHAT I CALLED YOU MY MIND HAS NOT CHANGED YET.
