I'm trying to decide whether to register my kids as competitors,
non-comptetitors, or not at all.

They are 6 and 8 years old and are fairly competent riders (probably not
yet at level 2 but solid level1).

I've asked them both and they're a little tentative about whether they
want to compete. If they don't compete what are some of the typical
things that kids that age would do as non-competitors?

At UNICON 11 they attended as spectators and enjoyed themselves but at
that time neither of them could ride.

So, any advice from parents (or others who have something to say about
it) is appreciated.

Thanks,

-mg

Competitors!

These conventions are set up to be accesible to riders of all levels.
With the number of age groups the USA has for racing, it can sometimes
be impossible to not win, or at least place, in a racing event.

Also, entering the events gives you more stuff to do.

Competitors
for their age group not much competiton
if they can ride somewhat they can race at the track.
The longest race they can get back on if they come off. Work with them at a
track so they have some practice. Practice starts and riding fast over the
finish line and staying in their lane.
