State College Wrestling Booster Club held their first “Give wrestling a try” night on November 3rd at the PSU Wrestling room, which was a complete success. Over 110 youth from Kindergarten through 8th grade attended to see what wrestling is all about. The group was instructed by 11 youth Wrestling coaches. Coaches included PSU coach Cody Sanderson, SC High School coach Chad Dubin, SC Jr. High Coach Dave Koll, and all 8 of the State College Little Lion Youth Wrestling Coaches and helper dads.
The youth performed some basic games and activities that simulated one of our practices. At the end we had a few older youth’s and coaches put on the “sumo suits” for a comical sumo match. The excitement was contagious and not a single frown could be found.
Our goal is to help youth discover their amazing athletic potential they all have inside and return State College to the top scholastic Wrestling program in the State of Pennsylvania. All the fun for the youth starts next week on the 9th, at Fairmount Elementary, 6pm. Parents are welcome to come and watch. There is lots of seating and you can be sure the gym will be nice and warm. |
