A few years ago I would agree with you. I agree that there aren't many out there but the ones that are are providing a place for athletes to go. I guess until you have one at your gym it's hard to explain it but this is our first year and has been a positive for our program.I'd definitely keep the restricted divisions. It was created to promote safe progression and it is serving its purpose. I would also vote for Y/Jr being restricted. Tinys 6 and under? Absolutely. And minimum age is a no brainer to me, mostly bc I dislike seeing Tinys on a Jr team, but also bc I think kids should have to wait to be a mini, youth, junior or senior. My athletes look forward to aging up and "qualifying" for that older team. It adds to their anticipation for next year.
And FYI, If you can't teach junior age kids how to stunt with older youth or other junior age kids, then you're doing it wrong and need to take some classes on proper stunting techniques.
I could do without senior 1. I just don't see that many teams that couldn't be a decent level 2 at least.
