	Chowchilla Warriors Wrestling



	Chowchilla Warriors Wrestling welcomes boys and girls 5-18 years old regardless of skill level or school affiliation. This is a community youth program in which the goal is to provide a safe, structured environment where wrestlers will learn and develop wrestling skills and at the same time develop confidence, self-discipline, strong work ethic where youth learn to compete as an individual within a team environment.

	All wrestlers will be required to purchase SCWAY ($15.00) and/or USA wrestling cards ($35.00) in order to practice and participate in wrestling tournaments. Local tournaments are normally $10.00 per wrestler/style and are usually held on Saturdays with a few on Sundays. State tournaments are normally $35.00 per wrestler (2 day event/weekend). Parents will be responsible for providing their own transportation. Practices take place at the PAL Gym located at 129 N. Third Street and will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for K-5 grades and 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for 6-12 grades.
