Ages 5–8 | Fun, Fundamentals & Confidence on the Mat
Welcome to Alpha Wrestling Club - Core Practice—the perfect starting point for young athletes discovering the sport of wrestling. This practice is designed specifically for kids ages 5 to 8, with a focus on building balance, coordination, focus, and confidence in a high-energy, safe, and encouraging environment.
