Kansas Wrestling Community,


As a former Club Director, I am embarrrassed and disappointed with the "VOTE" that was held at the State Body Meeting. No I did not attend the Meeting so I dont know what the discussion centered around, but I do know how I feel as a result of this vote.

I read the 6-Under vote No thread with some interest, but do not have any kids of my own who would be in the 6-Under age group.

If I was still a Club Director, I would feel terrible to find out, (from my club members), that they would indeed like the "CHOICE" of participating in the 6-Under State Tournament, as it was proposed.

Saw mention on the thread of "this or that" is "best" for your child.

I as a PARENT of that 6 year old, would have liked to have made that "CHOICE!!!"

Not all would have made the choice to enter the tourney, that is fine. It would have been their choice. But leave that choice up to them as parent and child.

For any Club Director who claimed to know exactly how his 6-under families felt about this topic is absurd.
How many of those clubs have even had signups yet.
How many of the same Club Directors even know what 6-under families are even in their club at this point of the season??
Had you voted to approve this proposal, it would have given them the choice.


Shame on those who took that choice away from them.
