Blue Hawk Youth Wrestling is a sanctioned USA-Wrestling Club. Our program is open to interested athletes in grades K-5. It is our goal to promote interest in the sport of Folkstyle Wrestling among the youth and parents involved with our club. We will provide a disciplined and competitive program for its members to learn and develop wrestling skills, self-confidence, and the ideals of good sportsmanship. Our program is instructional and will teach a basic understanding of the rules and techniques. Safety is of utmost importance to our club. Participants will be grouped with other wrestlers according to age, weight and skill level. An emphasis on building strength and endurance will continue throughout the season. We will also highlight the importance of good nutrition and exercise. The Blue Hawk Youth Wrestling Club’s season runs from mid-November through the end of February. Practices are held in the Cafeteria at the OLD Exeter Area High School located on Linden Street in Exeter. Participants should use back doorway near the Atrium. Practice Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:00 – 7:30 pm. Wrestlers should arrive 10 minutes early to change, stretch out, and warm up before practice begins. We will compete against other youth wrestling clubs in the area. These opportunities include both scrimmages and tournaments alike. Youth wrestlers will be grouped with opponents according to age and weight. A list of scheduled events will be posted on our website soon after the October 29th New Hampshire Youth Wrestling Coaches Association meeting. Wrestlers are expected to participate in as many practices and tournaments as they can. It is understood that there will be exceptions.
