Youth Games

Is anyone currently hosting  games for youths in the midwest?  My friend's kid, who is 14 and 100 lb. soaking wet, really enjoys throwing and is looking for venues.  As he can't even lift the 56, though, I don't believe it would be appropriate for him to be on the field at a large game or one with a significant audience. 

If nobody is currently hosting these games, has anybody ever, or at least put together guidelines for hosting kids? 

Finally, is there any interest in the community for a youth game or 2?

I guess the closest thing we have to a junior division is when my kids all throw. We have had young 'un's throw at Warrensburg, but only if I know them and they have proven competent.

Emily started at 12  and has been invited to the Women's World championships for the last two years as a 14 and now 15 year old. She would have never had an opportunity to throw if AD's had not given her a chance.

Isaac started at 15.  At 18, he's somewhere in the top 20  ranked Am's with a body weight of 175.

Nathan started at 17 and at 20 won the 190 Championships.

Getting them young has been a great experience for us! Now we'll see if Levi and Flint want to throw!

Daryl ,,, I think it's awesome what you've done for and with your kids. You should be proud !!

I would like to help if there is a way to get the young kids started  , we have a bunch of kids here in Alaska that throw for fun at the games ,,, we made some 7 lbs and 14 lbs weights for them to throw ,both for distance and for height . Granted these kids are between 5 -10 , but they have a great time and who knows ,, maybe they will grow up throwing .

My throwing partners kids throw with us and have a great time , so I look for them to throw someday .
