We are here to support and motivate you and your athlete on their journey into wrestling.
Wrestling culture embodies several important character-building values, such as discipline, leadership, teamwork, cognitive aggressiveness, grind, sacrifice, pride, humility, and endurance. These values will guide your child towards success both on and off the mat.
Teamwork is essential in wrestling.
All wrestlers train with partners and work with coaching staff to hone their skills. Your team mates are your training partners, and working together, you will push each other to improve, offering challenges safely that simulate real competition. Coaches and teammates provide valuable feedback and insights, will help your wrestler to refine their techniques and strategies. Teamwork and comradery boost motivation, making the tough grind of wrestling training more manageable and enjoyable while fostering accountability and ensuring that wrestlers stay disciplined and focused on their goals.
Competition and Tournaments
Competitions, challenge matches, tournaments and clubs are a huge part of wrestling and we encourage you and your wrestler to get involved as much or as little as you see fit. The Pittsford Youth Team competes in the GRYWL (Greater Rochester Youth Wrestling League). Coaches will be trying to fill in weight classes in the near future. Many that come to wrestling practice may choose not to compete and that is more than ok and normal for new wrestlers. Please inform the coaches as soon as possible if your choose to simply learn and not compete. If there are more than one wrestler in a given weight class and they all wish to compete challenge matches may be set up to see who will get the spot. Regardless of the outcome of the challenge match we will do all that we can to set up exhibition matches for all wrestlers that wish to compete at the GRYWL competitions (also known as DUELS).
