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.
