ROCKPORT — The Midcoast Wrestling Club is looking for boys and girls in the kindergarten through fourth grade age group to join the club.

The first meeting will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Other meetings will continue on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays through Jan. 27 (excluding Jan. 16) from 6:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Camden Hills Regional High School in the wrestling room. 

For February and March, the sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Camden-Rockport Middle School. 

The cost is $30 per participant, which will be applied to the Marshwood tournament, if you choose to attend the tournament.

MCWC’s youth wrestling program offers a fun, easy, and affordable opportunity for area youth to try the sport of wrestling. This is a good way for to be actively involved in a team sport that is focused on individual development. 

Some participants may choose to attend with the club the numerous youth tournaments around the state. Tournaments are usually on Sundays.

Wrestling shoes and headgear will be required equipment after the first two weeks of practice. We have some that wrestlers can borrow. 

No experience is necessary. Wrestling is a safe sport (less serious injuries per participant than soccer or basketball) that kids of all shapes and sizes can be successful in. Please come and give it a try!
