Getting your child involved in the youth wrestling program in your local area can be a rewarding experience for your child. When my son decided he wanted to be in wrestling in 1st grade, I was hesitant at first. I felt that he might get injured or he might be too upset when he lost a match or be afraid to wrestle all by himself out on that big mat in front of all those people, and all sorts of other negative things and excuses entered my mind.
After I reluctantly agreed to let him try one practice, he came home as happy as ever. He loved it and wanted to go back the next day! It turned out that wrestling was a great confidence builder for him and it wasn’t as dangerous as I had thought it was.
I think it’s been a rewarding sport for my son, he has learned discipline and teamwork, gained self-confidence and better mental focus. He has learned he has to work hard and to set goals for himself.
I never would have thought that joining wrestling would have had such a positive impact on my son, so I urge you to check it out if you are on the fence about whether or not to let your child join. There is a great ebook called Parent’s Guide to Wrestling that can be downloaded for free, it’s a great overview of the sport of wrestling.
There are several websites you can review about youth wrestling including USA Wrestling, MN Wrestling, NYWA, Folkstyle Wrestling and The Mat.
Thanks for stopping by!
