Parents, do you want your child (1st - 8th Grade) to learn skills and techniques that can help their coordination, flexibility and confidence?

GRAA Wrestling will teach your children:

• Wrestling fundamentals, skills, and techniques

• Perseverance in competition

• Teamwork and sportsmanship

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 

ALL PRACTICES ARE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA

Advanced (Varsity):  All 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders.   Wrestlers must be able to drill unsupervised without fooling around.  Wrestlers will compete in a dual meet against other towns and may have to compete for the desired weight class. 

Practice during the Season will be on  Monday,  Wednesday, and Thursday nights from 6:45-8:15pm.

Cost $220

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.

Practice during the season will be held on Monday, and Wednesday 6:45 to 8:15.   

Cost $220

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.  Practice will include a review of basic wrestling techniques, some drilling, and a healthy dose of physical games.    MR will have the opportunity to enter tournaments with the JV kids also.

Practice will be held on Monday and Wednesday from 5:45 to 6:45.
