This youth wrestling program, run by Billerica Youth Wrestling in partnership with the Recreation Department, is open to all boys and girls in grades K through 8. This year we will be run by Coach Vic, head coach of the Billerica high school wrestling team. Our beloved coaches, Coach Tom, Coach Mike, and many more will be returning this season as well. Ashley always, we will have some high school wrestlers coming into the room to help out as well!
The focus of our program is to learn the basics and fundamentals of wrestling, build character and self-confidence, and develop the skills to compete at (optional) wrestling scrimmages, meets, and tournaments throughout surrounding states.
This program includes the practice schedule posted online. Scrimmages and meets are optional and typically on a Wednesday afternoon. Tournaments are optional at an additional fee and held on Sundays. All tournaments shared with wrestling families will have our coaches there to coach and support our wrestlers on the mat. More information about tournaments will be provided throughout the season. Tournaments are not run through Billerica Recreation.
At the end of the season, there will be a banquet for all registered wrestlers. More details to come!
