Does anyone know why the 6u division was never added to original states series...??
Maybe the old timers knew something about not burning our kids out from weight cutting at 5-6,(I ran a subdistrict weighin and watched multiple 5-6 yr olds run for extended periods of time to make a weight that dad/coach entered them into so it happens)or subjecting our 5-6 yr olds to a 5 month competition season when they should at that age be developing basic motor skills and having "Fun".
Also just curious if anyone knows if any or the percentage of 2017 HS state placers/champs were competitive enough at 6 to have attended 8u state and placed or attended the old "6u State" in Ottawa and placed there..??
Also, how many do u know that did compete at 8u as a 6 yr old and no longer are competing at all due to "burn out"?
