Wrestling Programs
Novice : The Novice (beginner) program is for our younger, less experienced wrestlers typically in Grades K to 3. These wrestlers must be at least 5 years old by the start of practice. In the Novice program, our wrestlers will learn the fundamentals of wrestling, body control, and basic skills.
Midget : The Midget program is for more experienced wrestlers typically in Grades 3 and 4. This will provide a more detailed technical curriculum and a more challenging pace to practice, advancing each wrestler to the next level of their development.
Grade School : The Grade School program is for our most experienced wrestlers, typically in Grades 5 through 8. This program will build upon the Midget Program for our older and more experienced wrestlers.
Regardless of experience level or grade level, ALL wrestlers are welcome!
Once you have Wrestled
