this is my argument. what other sport do people talk about taking a break in. what is the reason why anyone would take a break.
baseball. nephew's team had practice today. they have tournaments scheduled through july, when they split and play within town boundaries. each kid misses a tournament/ game for one reason or another.
scott i don't think it's any one trying to turn the table on the argument. i think it is what you make of it.
high school wrestling is suffering for fan support, read the posts about the state tourney attendance. i for one would love to see the younger kids at high school events, but it doesn't happen. there are hundreds of reasons.
i don't think the right thing to do is exclude the high school kids from the state series. i really like the 6u state at Ottawa.
we take a break every year to attend high school regionals. and schedule at least one more. if you get right down to it, you need to take it at a kid to kid basis. they are all different and need to be treated different.
i feel it's really the best thing for the kids to over schedule and let some take breaks, than to under schedule. coaches and parents are responsible for these kids, if they need a break give it to them.
