Did you know?
Wrestling builds mental toughness, body control, and character, on and off the mat. Many of the greatest athletes in history started as wrestlers!
It just goes to show, you're never too young to step on the mat, wrestle hard, and do something BIG! 🤼💪
Coach Art brings passion, energy, and a commitment to making sure every kid gets to play, no matter what. He focuses on building confidence through encouragement and helping kids learn through doing.
