Why Have Your Child Youth Wrestle
Confidence
Kids get bullied and can't deal with it. We teach our kids how to be winners while also having empathy for others. Wrestling is offered in most schools and being a club wrestler will typically automatically put you at the top of the pack in your school!
Competitive
Early competition sets the stage for how to approach all sports to win. We don't ever try to push kids into competition but, performing well and being in matches teaches confidence and helps children trust the abilities they gain through our process.
Strength & Stability
Many athletes join youth wrestling because what it does for your over all athletics. Core strength and explosive movements are side effects of what we do!
Mental Toughness
Being a contact sport where someone is trying to hold you down against your will teaches humility. From that mental toughness is born when you learn to fight off your back.
Discipline
Great wrestlers are known for "training like monks". Disciplined work habits, Respect for themselves and their peers and coaches are part of what we do.
Wrestling is the Oldest Martial Art
Back in the days of the Romans, people were fascinated by wrestling in the colosseum. President Lincoln was known for being in high school wrestling! More UFC champions come from High school wrestling backgrounds over any other discipline of combat sport. Now people start youth wrestling as young as four and have access to elite wrestling coaching to help them improve faster! Plus, lots of access to summer wrestling camps and other tools have changed the sport!
