This isn't JUST wrestling. We build characters, We inspire discipline, We encourage respect & We motivate. Scotlands biggest pure wrestling club. We have a curriculum based Wrestling program. A clear pathway to help children enter the sport as a beginner and progress them to a national level. You will be coached by three time British Champion & Commonwealth Games athlete - Ross McFarlane amongst some other great and friendly coaches Our aim is that your child enjoys wrestling, learns new skills and if they choose to, compete at competitions. We provide an environment that will encourage your child and aid them to; Enjoy the sport of wrestling, Become physically fitter, Become mentally tougher, Become tactically smarter, Become technically superior, Be present and not worry about results. Wrestling benefits; Improve cardiovascular fitness, core stability, reflexes, balance, coordination, timing and overall body strength. Builds resilience Promotes focus toward specific tasks. Encourages discipline & respect. Develops social skills. We teach you how to fall safely, we show you how to execute moves, outwit opponents and develop skills that maybe useful to defend yourself if the situation ever required. However we always promote and expect you to have respect for the coaches, your team mates and most importantly your competitors. We want to help you to win!!! but we want you to be graceful in defeat. Wrestling is a weight category sport (No child will be weighed unless attending national competitions, and no child would ever be asked to cut weight) so your child will practice with someone their own size and rough weight each week. Misconceptions; Wrestling is sometimes viewed as violent and linked to the excitement of entertainment wrestling. However we don't throw punches or chairs. We don't trash talk our adversaries and we certainly don't encourage hurting our team mates or opponents.
