WRESTL(H)ER
The Wrestl(H)er Program empowers our girls through leadership and wrestling to break down stereotypes and to fight for equality in wrestling, society, and life. Engaging our girls, educating them about opportunities, enriching their minds through sports based youth development, and empowering them to use their voices in order to evolve, is what leadership looks like in wrestling and beyond . With Girls wrestling continuing to grow at a rapid pace throughout the US it is important to build the next generation of leaders, starting from the moment they get connected with wrestling.
WHY Join Women’s Wrestling?
Builds Confidence & Mental Toughness
Wrestling challenges athletes to push past their limits, helping girls develop resilience, self-discipline, and confidence that carries over into all areas of life.
Develops Strength & Athleticism
Wrestling is a full-body workout that improves strength, agility, endurance, and coordination, making girls stronger and more physically capable.
Teaches Self-Defense & Empowerment
Learning wrestling techniques provides valuable self-defense skills while also empowering girls with the knowledge that they can handle themselves in tough situations.
Creates a Supportive Community
Wrestling teams are like families, offering camaraderie, mentorship, and friendships that last a lifetime. The sport also promotes inclusivity and leadership.
Opens Doors to Opportunities
With the rapid growth of women’s wrestling, there are now more opportunities for scholarships, college programs, and even Olympic aspirations than ever before.
WHY Support Women’s Wrestling?
Across the nation it is clear, to grow women’s sports you need to offer specific women’s programming. We want opportunities for all girls throughout New England to join a supportive environment in the wrestling community. So we developed the Wrestl(H)er Program in both Providence and Boston. Through this program we host practices, clinics and events specifically for girls to compete against other girls.
This program covers opportunities for girls of all ages from elementary to college and of all levels from beginners to those seeking world class programming. We accomplish this with practices geared towards teaching fundamentals for any level, attending tournaments and events for those ready to compete and offering the highest level of clinicians for any athlete to benefit.
Our goal in the Wrestl(H)er Program is to grow to have completely separate teams with dedicated coaches throughout our region. Growing not only women’s wrestling but wrestling as a whole. We believe wrestling is the greatest tool for youth development and are excited to offer programing specifically for girls to get involved and compete in women specific programming!
