Children's Saturday Wrestling Classes

We offer a specialised class for 5 – 8 year olds with the aim of up-skilling children in wrestling for fun and fitness from an early age.  A focus on basic gymnastics for wrestling, introduction to principles of safe falling and awareness of body–in-space are instilled in our younger members assuring they are well equipped for future competition and have a sound knowledge of basic wrestling principles.

Wrestling in schools and Cubs is a sport of individual participation functioning within the framework of team concepts. This aspect contributes to the development of life-long patterns of responsible behaviour including respect for others regardless of social or racial origin. A young person involved in wrestling can be expected to display increasing self-confidence and appreciation of their self-worth, and develop analytical and adaptive skills.
