After 6 weeks of Strider Wrestling, the progress made has been fantastic. The kids who have been with us from the beginning or nearly so have made great strides from the first time I saw them. Those who came on later have also picked it up quickly, and I look forward to the final three weeks with them and hope they will return for our spring session.
If you're reading this and want to help out in any way, here are some things you can do:
1. Bring your kids to wrestle, and stay to help. It doesn't matter if you know anything about wrestling. If you watch and learn as the teaching goes on, you will be able to show your son what to do. With a large group of young wrestlers, the more coaches on the mat, the more successful we can be together.
2. If you have old wrestling shoes that are still in good condition, but maybe your son has grown out of, donate them to Strider for other kids to use. This goes for the future as well. If you buy shoes for your son, when he grows out of them, consider this as an option.
3. Tell other people about Strider Wrestling. It will be more successful with more people involved. Get the word out to your neighbors, friends, church, and schools.
4. Support Strider Wrestling financially. As a 501(c)(3) organization, your donation will be tax deductible and will do a lot to support us as we support youth wrestling in the greater Chicago area. We do not charge our students to attend Strider, so we are completely donor funded.
