in responce to saying that 6 yr olds can go to state but they must compete in the 8 and under bracket..isn't that pushing them?? my son did go to the 8 and unders (all his choice) and the kids were twice his size. It left him feeling that he was fat and no good but thank goodness for the 6& under championships because now he is as proud as could be!! so I will never reccomend any child bumping up an age bracket. If my son had wrestled kids his own age they would not have matured as much yet. In the lighter brackets it might not matter, but my son wrestles 88lbs and boy there was a difference. it looked like the kids he wrestled lived in a gym!!
