Both of my boys (11 and 7) get the tournament options presented to them about 2 weeks prior to the tournament. They decide for themselves if they want to wrestle the tournament or take the weekend off. There answer usually includes "will so-and-so be there?" because there are certain kids that they like to wrestle. They have chosen to take 2 weekends off and I had to push hard for them to NOT wrestle at Winfield last week.
CJA - Are you serious? Maybe the SRS will frown upon me spending time with my family and doing activities that WE enjoy!
24/7 - Was that really your post? Taking my statement and converting it into a question?
If they want to wrestle, we find somewhere to wrestle. And my 6 year old found out about a tournament called Panhandle Nationals from some other 6 year olds while we were at the Kickoff Classic in Tulsa. He asked me if we could go to it. I found the information on the website at 1:30 Sunday morning after we drove home from Tulsa and emailed the Tournament Director to inquire about a late entry, which was granted. So we spent our Thanksgiving Weekend in Amarillo, TX because he wanted to wrestle.
