Wrestling teaches many life skills including hard work, perseverance, discipline and grit. In this activity, children will be introduced to the sport of wrestling and learn basic techniques of the sport. It is great for building strength, coordination, balance, and endurance. This wrestling opportunity is for girls only.
High School Girls Wrestling was sanctioned in Minnesota in 2021. In 2024, the MSHSL held its third ever Girls’ State Wrestling Championships at the Xcel Energy Center. Minnesota had 250 girls participate in wrestling in its first season. There are now over 1,100 girls wrestling in high school across the state of Minnesota. There are a growing number of opportunities for girls to participate in tournaments against other girls. Along with the growth of high school girls wrestling, we have seen a similar explosion in the number of colleges that offer women’s wrestling as a collegiate sport. Women’s wrestling is the fastest growing women’s collegiate sport in the country.
Girls have been wrestling in Minnesota and HLWW for many years. In 2024, HLWW hosted it's first ever Girls Only wrestling practices. Our Youth program has been co-ed for a number of years, but now additional opportunities have been created to help girls get started with the sport of wrestling.
The weekly sessions will collectively end with a camp in August. If you register for the summer girls’ wrestling program, camp registration is free! Must register prior to July 10 to receive a t-shirt.
Instructors: Joe Puncochar, HLWW Activities Director/Wrestling Coach and various other members of the HLWW Wrestling Community.
