We put the focus on the kids, and the goal is to teach folkstyle wrestling to anyone, 6 years old up until they leave high school, while promoting teamwork, good sportsmanship, work ethic, and team pride.
Practices consist of stretching, strength and conditioning (running, sit-ups, push-ups etc.) learning new wrestling techniques, practicing the techniques, and live wrestling. We may even play a game or two at the end of practice.
The Jr Patriots only attend tournaments AAU / USA sanctioned wrestling events, where we wrestle against other St Louis Area pee-wee and youth wrestling teams.
