Red Roots Wrestling

Introductory Wrestling Program (Grades K-8)
Introduction to Wrestling is geared toward children just being introduced to the sport.  This three-month program meets twice a week and introduces the participants to the sport of wrestling.  The fundamentals of grappling are incorporated into a fun, engaging and age-appropriate atmosphere.  Practices will be on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30PM-6:30PM.  Individuals are divided into groups based on age, weight, experience, and ability.  For older or more athletic kids, there will be an opportunity to switch to the advanced program upon a coach's review.  Participants should wear "gym clothes" for practices.  There will be opportunities to compete against other towns, as well as wrestle in tournaments.  For children under 8, at least one parent or guardian should remain during instruction.  
 
Advanced Wrestling Program (Grades 3-8)
Advanced Wrestling is geared to children in Grades 3-8 but will consider younger children on request based on ability.  This three-month program (approximately 25 practices with additional scrimmages, dual meets and tournaments) incorporates instruction, conditioning, and games as a means of expanding on the fundamentals learned in the Introduction to Wrestling program.  Individuals are divided into groups based on age, weight, experience and ability.  Practices will be on Mondays and Thursdays beginning mid-November up to February vacation.  The practices will be held at two distinct times:  Mondays and Thursdays 6:30PM-8:00PM.  There is an expectation that 5th-8th grade youth wrestlers will compete against other teams throughout the season as well as in tournaments during and at the end of the season. Some events occur on weekends, generally Saturday mornings for dual meets (3-4 times during the season) and tournaments on Sundays (3-4 times during the season). Please note that the season may extend for some individuals that
qualify for tournaments. Program will supply singlets that must be returned at
season’s end. Cost of program will include team fight shorts, workout shirt and a sweatshirt. 

PLEASE NOTE:  The Advanced program will continue longer for wrestlers that qualify for post season activity.
