Traveling Team
Open to all students K-8th grade. All who join are on the team. No one is left out.
This program is a more advanced program for wrestlers wanting more wrestling experience.
This program introduces wrestlers to competition. Winning is good, but the goal of this
program is to further enjoy and develop wrestling skills. We teach that success is directly
related to effort and stress that good work ethics and attention to detail are important
in all aspects of life.
