Many benefits are associated with wrestling, including improved strength, agility, and self-confidence. Wrestling is an individual sport, but it also has a team component and instills teamwork and the importance of working together. Wrestling is one of the few sports in which a child's foot speed, ball-handling skills, hand-eye coordination, and size do not matter. Everyone is welcome, and wrestlers compete in their weight class or the weight class above.
