built tough tykes
Tough Tykes is our introductory wrestling program designed for Kindergarten through 2nd grade wrestlers with approximately 1 to 2 years of wrestling experience.
This program is designed to give young wrestlers a strong foundation in the sport while keeping practices fun, engaging, and age-appropriate. Wrestlers will learn fundamental wrestling skills, movement, positioning, technique, discipline, and confidence while developing a love for the sport.
Because every wrestler develops at a different pace, age and experience are not the only factors we consider when placing athletes. Coaches will evaluate each wrestler's skill level, maturity, confidence, and readiness throughout the season.
At the coaches discretion, wrestlers may be moved into a more advanced group when they are ready for additional challenges. Likewise, a wrestler may remain in the Tough Tykes group longer if coaches feel it is in the athletes best interest for their development. Our goal is to place every wrestler in an environment where they can learn, compete, build confidence, and continue progressing.
