Youth Wrestling is a winter league organized for boys and girls ages 6 to 13. Wrestling is a sport that encourages positive attitudes, builds self discipline and teaches leadership qualities. It is an opportunity to develop physical strength, technique, coordination, balance and agility while building new friendships. Wrestling is hand to hand contact sport between two unarmed contestants seeking to pin or press each others shoulders to the ground.
