What is the Fremont Wrestling Club?
The Fremont Wrestling Club is a non profit, program to teach
children the fundamentals of wrestling,
sportsmanship, teamwork as
well as handling individual achievements and disappointments.
Is wrestling dangerous?
Wrestling, like most physical education & activities, does have
its share of injuries much like soccer, gymnastics, track,
baseball, & football. All of these physical activities do have
appropriate rules to prevent injuries. Wrestlers can protect
them selves by learning the rules of wrestling. Most
opponents of wrestling mistake our sport for what is seen on
television (professional wrestling) and or have missed
opportunties to watch wrestling at the elementary, high school,
college, world, & Olympic levels.
Does my child need diet to
make weight?
No child is encouraged or recommended to maintain a certain
weight. Weight classes are determined the morning of a
tournament by weighing in.
