Online registration is open for the Upper Saint Clair Athletic Association Youth Wrestling Program. Sign-ups and more information can be found at the wrestling website.
Youth wrestling is a winter program for boys in 1st through 6th grades. The emphasis of wrestling is learning the basic moves of the sport, physical fitness, and competitive matches. The team practices two days per week, and competes on weekends. The first practice of the 2012-2013 year is November 19, and the season runs through the end of February.
Not all participants are ready to compete in matches, so the program usually has several children who come to the practices and learn, but do not begin competing until they feel more comfortable doing so. The program also supports more competitive wrestlers by offering dual meets with other schools, participation in local tournaments, and a post-season Junior Olympic tournament.
