K-1st (Less Experienced) Grade Practices

Practice for the K – 1st Grade students will be Tuesday and Thursday 6:00pm to 7:00pm. The season for this group starts in December and will end of February

For our younger group we try to provide a positive experience for them.  We focus more on having fun and providing a happy and exciting environment.  Focusing on the basics we provide a place to run off some energy through structured exercises.  We start with the basic drills trying to give them a chance to repeat simple moves to build coordination.  We work on balance and awareness of the mat and its surroundings.

There is often a “Beginners” tournament where only first year wrestlers are allowed to join.  We suggest this tournament for our rookies.  We also provide our clubs “Mini Grizzly” which is a small tournament that is run during our last practice.  This Mini Grizzly is only between our Mukwonago wrestling club members and gives the kids a chance to experience a tournament environment on a small scale.
