Welcome to Crofton Wrestling Wrestling is an ideal sport for children of all ages, skill levels, sizes, & builds. Where else can a 103 lb high school high school athlete have the opportunity to be a state champion in a contact sport or a 285 athlete be the star of the team. Wrestlers are matched according to their weight classes varying from 40lbs to 195lbs. There is also a variety of age/weight competitions keeping children within their own age group and weight class. Wrestling is surprisingly a very safe sport. Wrestlers are matched within their weight own classes and there are not nearly the collisions often seen on the football & lacrosse field. Most injuries in wrestling are superficial involving slight pulls, nose bleeds, scratches, etc. League Structure Crofton is entered into the Anne Arundel County League as Arundel Wrestling which is sponsored by Crofton & GORC athletic associations. The county teams consist of A & B team, A being the more competitive.

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
