Merrimack Youth Wrestling Parent Info Night Oct 7th

Merrimack Youth Wrestling hosting a parent information night on Oct 7th. Pre-registration for the 2015-16 season is open now.

WELCOME to the 2015-2016 Merrimack Youth Wrestling season!

We are excited to announce that our Parent Information Night is right around the corner! Join us at the Merrimack Middle School on Wednesday, October 7th, 6:00-7:30 PM!

The program is open to Merrimack boys and girls in grades K-6. This is your chance to meet the coaches and learn about the program before signing up. Bring your prospective wrestler dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. The kids will get a chance to get on the mats for some wrestling games. If they already have wrestling shoes, bring those along too. This is a fun night for the kids so you don’t want to miss it!

Our program is designed to provide a wrestling knowledge base to young athletes. Each wrestler competes according to his/her weight, age, and experience level. We do not have weight categories and wrestlers do not have to “make weight”. Our focus, as a program, will be:

  • To provide a safe environment for each wrestler.
  • To provide the best wrestling instruction possible in an environment conducive to learning.
  • To highlight the importance of nutrition and exercise in wrestling and in general health.
  • To enhance the self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-discipline in each wrestler.

Pre-register online today at www.myawrestling.com then join us for one of our two in-person registration sessions at the MYA Building to finalize the registration process. If neither of those dates work for you, e-mail the Director so that we can make arrangements to get your child registered for the season.
