Arkansas Wrestling Association

Building Character and Confidence through Competition In Arkansas, most schools only have a basketball program during the winter.

Although basketball is a wonderful sport, it only helps typically 15 kids during that season stay active, be fit, and enjoy competition. Wrestling would be the perfect fit in that it is a winter sport and it allows every kid to participate regardless of size. Weight classes start at 103 and go through 285 pounds. For the young man who gets a late growth spurt or simply isn't going to be big enough to play football or basketball this sport gives him a great chance to compete.
