GRAA Wrestling is for 1st – 8th-grade BOYS AND GIRLS of all skill levels and body sizes. GRAA Wrestling is designed for everyone to learn and improve. The GRAA Wrestling coaches focus their attention on the experienced as well as the inexperienced wrestler. And have divided the program into three distinct groups: MAT RATS, JV, VARSITY

Intermediate (JV): 3rd, 4th to 5th Graders (in their first year) OR kids with a minimum of one year of experience (Mat Rats included). Wrestlers will be expected to compete in “Quad” (4-5 teams) style matches where the kids are matched up by their coaches according to age, and skill level.

Beginner, aka “Mat Rats”: 1-2nd graders with no prior wrestling experience OR for wrestlers up to 3rd grade who are not sure if they want to wrestle officiated matches.
