RAMS YOUTH WRESTLING CLUB
WHY ALL KIDS SHOULD WRESTLE
ANYBODY CAN WRESTLE! No matter your size or weight, there is a place for you in wrestling. In some sports, only certain body types are able to succeed: in football, you may need to be heavier/bigger; in basketball, you need to be somewhat tall; and in track, you need speed and stamina. In wrestling, as long as you are tough and have the desire to win, nothing else matters. Weight classes ensure fairness amongst the competitors, so you’re never too small or too big to participate.
1. Foundation Sport. Wrestling is about balance, agility, hand –eye coordination, flexibility, positioning, strength, speed, explosiveness, footwork, hustle, mental focus, mental toughness, core strength, concentration, competition, and endurance. Wrestling will make you better at all other sports.
2. Self-Confidence. Wrestling teaches hard work, self-improvement, sense of accomplishment, camaraderie of team, 1 on 1 aspect, and self-defense to name a few.
3. Roadmap to Success. Wrestling is the perfect example of what it takes to be successful in life: goal setting, hard work, determination, focus, love of challenges, love of competition, confidence, being coachable, mental toughness, discipline, creativity, teamwork and accountability.

The Clarkstown North RAMS Youth Wrestling Club is now in its 16th season. The club meets twice a week in the evening: 1st grade-6th grades for an hour on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30. All youth wrestlers will receive a club T-Shirt, a mandated USA Wrestling card, and a team gift at the end of the season. To assist our youth coaches, current high school wrestlers will volunteer their time to work with the young athletes throughout the season. .
