Youth Wrestling

I was debating writing a series of articles on youth wrestling. Having done the youth tournament circuit for a number of years, I figured my experience would be something worthwhile to communicate. Well I came across a great resource written by Bill Campbell of USA Wrestling. After reading this, I decided to postpone my efforts since Bill has done such a great job of providing parents with a really great guide on youth wrestling. The guide is about 30 pages and covers many topics. Here is an excerpt: ?Of the more than 80 sports tracked by the NFHS (National Federation of High Schools), wrestling is the sixth most popular and consistently draws well over 200 thousand high school participants each school year. Wrestling is also alive and well at the collegiate, national, international and Olympic levels. Those not directly involved with wrestling do not see or experience this first-hand. If you did not come from a wrestling family and have not wrestled or been close to someone who has, then your perception of the sport was most likely formed from things you have heard, a few matches you may have seen in school, and some of the associations you might draw with so-called professional wrestling.? Of all the things you will learn from this Wrestling Guide is that wrestling, like no other sport, instills character, traditional values of hard work, sacrifice and accountability in your child.
