Nittany Lion Wrestling Club
2017 Fall Youth Programs
Fitness and Balance (October 2 - October 23)
Time: Mondays, 6pm - 6:45pm
Location: Penn State Wrestling Room
Age: Pre-School – Grade 3
Cost: $20
Description: The program will provide children (both boys and girls) an opportunity to participate in a dynamic and fun workout. The emphasis will be on basic body movements, using a wide variety of drills and games. This program will help children develop balance, strength, and confidence in different body movements. Although this program will take place in the wrestling room, wrestling skills and techniques will not be taught, and there will be no actual wrestling contact. The main goal of the program will be to have fun!
For those who wish to do so, this program will be excellent preparation for first-year wrestlers to begin actual elementary wrestling practice in the NLWC Youth Rec Wrestling Program.

Description: Wrestling is a great foundation for all sports. It teaches the fundamental skills (balance, hand eye coordination, footwork, strength, etc.) necessary for any other physical activity. This recreational program is non-competitive. It will focus on exposing your child to wrestling and these basic skills, setting the groundwork for future sports and activities. Our goal is to ensure they have a fun and a positive first experience with the sport. We want the kids leaving the program excited about wrestling. There will be one practice and one match per week for six weeks.
