2026-2027 Season

 

NEW TO WRESTLING?

 

Fun and Fundamentals:

 

An introduction to wrestling concepts, body awareness and rules of the game.  These practices will combine wrestling fundamentals with fun activities and games for kids NEW to wrestling.  

 

Who’s it for?

Any child currently enrolled in grades k - 5 who is new to wrestling

 

When?

This 4 week program starts on November 3rd and runs until November 24th.  Practices will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 - 6:45 PM. 

 

What happens after?

If your child is a kindergartener or a first grader, we encourage them to return again next year.  

 

If your child is in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th grade and they enjoyed the Fun and Fundamentals program, they may continue on for the rest of the season. The money that you paid for this first month, will be subtracted from the cost of the total season.
