Eisenhower Knights Wrestling

2024 -2025 Season

Eisenhower's Youth Wrestling Program presents a wonderful opportunity for boys and girls from Kindergarten to 6th grade
to explore and develop their skills in wrestling. This program focuses on instilling important life qualities such as
perseverance, confidence, a strong work ethic, and discipline, which can positively impact participants throughout their lives.
Boys can take part in the general wrestling program, while girls have the unique chance to train and compete alongside
other female athletes in the Youth Girls Wrestling Program. Both initiatives aim to enhance physical fitness and coordination
while also nurturing friendships and a sense of community among young wrestlers. This is a fantastic opportunity for your
child to embark on an enriching journey within the dynamic realm of wrestling.
