NXT BEGINNER PROGRAM | Warrior RTC

WARRIOR NXT BEGINNER PROGRAM

This program is designed for wrestlers (boys & girls) in grades K-5 with 0-2 years of experience. Our focus is on growth while learning how to properly wrestle and practice. Competitions are optional for this age group. The goal of this group is to learn the basic fundamentals of wrestling in a fun and safe environment, and eventually move the wrestler up to the RTC group. The Next Generation of Warriors!

Mandatory Parent Meetings

There will be a mandatory parent meeting at the first practice of each session. We strongly encourage at least one parent/guardian to attend. These meetings will be brief, but very important information will be shared. This is also a great time to get any questions or concerns that you may have answered by the coaching staff.

Competition Schedule (Optional)

***WRTC Coaching Staff will be in attendance to coach athletes at the following tournaments. We will be attending these events as a club team. The expectation is that all WRTC wrestlers will warm up together and support their teammates throughout the competition.
