The goals of the TJYW program are to: (1) HAVE FUN, while having a positive impact on each wrestler; (2) promote GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP and PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY on and off the mat; (3) encourage each wrestler to be competitive and physically fit; (4) teach each wrestler to master the basic moves necessary to become successful in the sport of wrestling; and (5) strive for a safe and injury-free wrestling season.
TJYW is part of the Keystone Wrestling League, a developmental league comprised of nearly 30 youth programs in Western Pennsylvania. The wrestlers will practice and compete in matches by age, weight and experience. Practice includes various exercises and drilling techniques to properly teach the moves used in the sport of wrestling. We are committed to teaching the basic fundamentals of wrestling and providing all participants with a positive experience.
