My Project

Wrestling is a very open and competitive sport. Because of how tough this sport is, it helps build perseverance, strong characters, helps improve health. Unlike other sports like Basketball and Football, we don't have cuts. Wrestling is a sport that helps change students life. We have been building our program currently to compete locally and with USA wrestling. We even partnered with other coaches from other schools to create meets and competition. We also extended the wrestling program to run year round for students that want to keep wrestling.

To get our wrestling program started, we borrowed mats from our local high school.

We didn't just use the mats for wrestling practices, we also use them for meets, and let the cheer team use them for their practices. We currently lost access to mats. We want to continue our program and so we are looking to get new mats. We want to buy mats, but mats are costly, 1 part price can range from 800-2000, and a full set has 4 parts. If you can help us with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
