I also think we lose alot of kids because a tourmament takes ALL day Saturday. Parents burn out much sooner then kids do. Maybe clubs should start running more week night duals with a couple of neighboring clubs.
you know we did the kids dual thing for a couple of years, it was great. younger kids at the duals, taught the kids the "team" side of wrestling. the kids that participated, still talk about it 5 yrs later.
