Wrestling Clubs...

[bushido_man96]

I wonder why there aren't any Wrestling clubs around. I would love to see a Wrestling club in my area. Does anyone know of any area that has Wrestling clubs, put on by a rec organization or anything like that?

There are a few around here. Mainly as off season outlets for practice. Then again, wrestling is very popular in my area.

Oddly enough, you're right! I dont know that I have seen a wrestling club...ever. We have boxing and MMA alot though lol I know that most Community Colleges, do have wrestling programs, but I am pretty sure its just for students at the school.

A friend of mine in Pennsylvania is on one. He's 28yrs old. Now, it's a big wrestling state also. That probably makes a difference. But it's just like a bowling league. They have little meets and everything.

That's the kind of thing I would like to see around here. After all, we have a lot of kids that grow up around here that start out in Kid's Wrestling, and then Wrestle all the way up through high school, and some into JuCo or College. We have a D-II school with a pretty decent Wrestling program. So I don't know why nobody gives one a try around here?

You could add that project to your plate as well .

Hook up with some wrestlers and get them interested in continueing to train. Learn some stuff from them in the process, get a big enough club going and the sky is the limit.

That would be a good idea. If I could find enough people that would be into it, and someone who would be more willing to run the show, then getting it going would be a good idea. I may have to see what I can find out. Maybe the rec center here would be interested in it.

Good place to start.

I'd also check with some local Y's to see if anything is kind of going on, maybe the junior colleges and high school coaches in the area too. They'd probilby be able to sterr you in the right direction.

Good Luck.

Thanks, tallgeese. No YMCA's here, so that part is done. Checking with some coaches would be a good place to start. Down the street from me is the former college Wrestling coach. He just took a different job in the athletic department at the college, so maybe he could help some, too.

I know of some great ones in Washington and seattle- gotta love Team Quest although they use submission rules
