Winter Youth Program (Beginner)
Important: Practices may need to be held virtually, click here to see how a virtual practice will function.
The Olympus Wrestling Club is offering a beginners folkstyle wrestling program sanctioned through USA Wrestling. Our focus will be on the development of fundamental wrestling skills, body awareness, coordination, and helping kids achieve their goals both on and off “the mat”. Whether or not wrestling is an athlete's "main" sport, we believe the skills learned in wrestling will help them excel at their sport and in life. We also believe wrestling is just plain fun!
