What to bring:

My son/daughter has never wrestled before, do you have a beginner program?
New wrestlers practice with the rest of the group. At the beginning of the year, we teach and review the basics for everyone. New wrestlers will pick up the basics very quickly. Early in the season, our practices are structured such that we focus on the skill currently being taught.
Do girls wrestle?
Yes, Absolutely! Female wrestling has been up and coming for about 15 to 20 years now. In 2004, Women's Wrestling was included as an Olympic sport for the first time in Athens. Canada's Women's team is the second best in the world. Several K-Bay athletes have gone on to compete for Canada at World Championships.
How old does my son or daughter have to be to start wrestling?
At K-Bay, we start kids wrestling as young as 5 years old. Although most start closer to 8+. In the past many young wrestlers have difficulty staying focused for two hours. (However all athlete are welcome to leave practice early if they need to). We will leave it at the discretion of the parents.
How big or small does my child have to be to wrestle?
Wrestling is an equal opportunity sport. Virtually anybody of any size and weight can wrestle. Opponents are paired according to age and actual weight.
How long is the wrestling season?
The kids wrestling season runs from November to mid May. We then start up again and wrestle throughout the summer. To get the maximum benefit from the program, it is best to start the program at the beginning and continue to the end. We can accept new wrestlers in mid season.
What are the Weight Classes?
In Canada, there are no defined weight classes for elementary school aged wrestling competitions. Wrestlers are paired according to their actual weight.
Do the wrestlers need to lose weight?
No, at the elementary school age, wrestlers are paired according to their actual weight to discourage wrestlers from losing weight to enter a weight class lower than their normal healthy body weight.
Are the wrestlers required to attend the competitions?
The wrestlers are strongly encouraged to attend the competitions. The competitions are fun and exciting, and give the wrestlers an opportunity to test their skills against wrestlers from other clubs in the province. Competitions provide significant personal and skill development. Remember, wrestlers are pooled with other individuals by gender, age group and weight.
