Wrestling Camp for 7 year old?

June 2011

Hi, Does anyone know of any organization that offers wrestling or tackle football for grade schoolers? I am looking for a wrestling or tackling camp (or on-going classes)for a very physical (yet anxious) 7 year old. My son is built like a linebacker and loves to wrestle. After trying for years to guide him into sports and activities I'D rather he do (martial arts, music, capoeira, yoga, soccer, baseball), I've finally realized that he has his own interests and that maybe I should channel that need to tackle and wrestle into a something formal, where he can gain confidence about something he's natural good at. Any suggestions? Nothing in BPN archives.... Wrestling with Wrestling


Hi! We, like you were looking for a program for wrestling for our three boys and found it out in Concord ( I don't know where you live- we live on the east side of the tunnel- so it's closer to us). It's called the Community Youth Center and I have not found anything like it anywhere in the Bay Area. My boys have been attending regular wrestling classes there for the past 4 years and it is our favorite place to go. The coaches are top notch- most of them were/are olympic wrestlers and they all coach the nations top wrestling program at De La Salle in Concord. They are very good with every age group and only do things which are appropriate for the age group. They offer a camp for wrestling in the summer- which is incredibly reasonably priced plus regular weekly classes every afternoon. The monthly tuition is crazy low- like what you would pay for one class elsewhere- but your child could go every day if he or she wanted or were able.

It is a community center (it's huge- three large warehouses filled with equiptment) that offers gymnastics, dance, tae kwon do, as well as an 2 academic rooms (one for the littles and one for the big kids) and is really an amazing place. They do not, however have A/C- and if you've ever been out in Concord in the summer, you know it can heat up! My kids have always been ok with the heat, and the coaches are really good about taking water breaks every 15 min. love the CYC
