Why Wrestle?
The sport of wrestling is a very natural thing for kids to do at a young age. Kids are always wrestling around in the yard or on the carpet in the house. Organized wrestling can bring in an element of safety and has a lot of other benefits as well.

Wrestling is a great sport because anybody can do  it. Because you wrestle people of your same weight, size is not an issue as it may be in a sport like football or basketball. There are now a lot of opportunities to get involved. All but maybe a couple of states have sanctioned high school state wrestling championships.

The sport of wrestling helps young people develop important qualities such as self esteem, sportsmanship, work ethic and leadership skills. It also helps by instilling a competitive edge. A competitive edge is a real key.  You really learn how to compete in wrestling because it is a unique one on one sport. Team sports are great, but there are some unique aspects of wrestling that makes it stand out. For one, in wrestling you compete at all times. You are playing the game the whole time you are out there. Matches may last 6, 7, up to 9 minutes, but for that short amount of time you are competing,you do not have to wait for a ball to come to you. There are very few breaks and it takes focus and concentration every second you are out there.


There are feelings that take place when you compete. There can be the feeling of not being successful, which can teach you how to overcome adversity and there is the feeling of winning, It only takes winning once to know that feeling and you"ll want to strive for it again and again. It doesn't even have to be the feeling of winning an actual match. Sometimes you will get the feeling of winning after completing a good hard practice because you pushed yourself and got through it.
