RIDLEY ROUGHRIDERS WRESTLING
Wrestling is one of the oldest sports known to man and is one of the original Olympic events. Although it is not widely known, southeastern Pennsylvania is one of the premier areas for wrestling in the entire United States. Our organization coach's kids from 4 to 14 years old in basic and advanced wrestling technique. The sport promotes a can do attitude.
It is not a sport where every one "wins", each time on the mat there is a winner and a loser and kids learn valuable lessons from both. Our kids learn sportsmanship and how to win graciously and lose with dignity and honor. Our club has been in existence for over 20 years and we have always been dedicated to supporting all kids. Our organization is run buy a volunteer network dedicated to promoting the sport. Several of our coaches are involved for the pure love of the sport without even having a child in our program.
Our season includes bi-weekly practices starting in November preparing the kids for the dual meet season which starts in early January and runs for 7 consecutive Saturdays. Dual meets provide the opportunity to wrestle kids from other teams and use the moves and skills they have learned. Dual meets are set up with great care to try to match kids to provide an even match based on the kids style, personality and even their personal needs. We set up dual meets where coaches for two or three clubs meet for four to six hours to "match" wrestlers with similar age, weight, experience and skill.
For kids new to the sport there are a number of tournaments that are limited to first year wrestlers to give kids new to the sport the opportunity to compete on a level playing field and measure their growth as the season progresses.
We have a number of dedicated volunteers and we are always open to input and support from parents wishing to get more involved. If you are interested in learning more feel free to visit our web site or email me if you would like to discuss our program personally.
Sincerely,
Chuck Cowan
