We realize that this may mean the youngest and smallest competitors may not have the strength or hand size required to compete in all four events. Thank you.

Eric Roussin Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 The good thing about kids is that they grow! While they may not be as competitive this year or next, eventually they'll be in the upper age range of the bracket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
