so I know there was talk at the USASF meetings about moving the bottom age up to 13 in the senior category for worlds athletes but I was thinking we might as well just move it to 14.
Juniors were taken out of worlds and girls these girls that are 12 13 and 14 are still Jun age on a senior team so it only makes sense. It would also create stronger junior teams across the board. There wouldnt be such a rush for skill progressions and pressure to get certain skills so early on. Plenty of time to perfect the skills not just throw them cuz your team needs your double to get a bid. It would cut down on the number of teams competing at worlds and give the athletes something to still look forward to cuz they arent competing at worlds for their 4th time and age 16. Thoughts?
