So, your boy tells you that he wants to take high school wrestling and you immediately envision your son being lifted into the air by a testosterone filled adolescent wearing a Superman costume.  If the idea of high school wrestling brings fear to your mind based upon the images portrayed by the wrestling teams on television, then put your mind at ease.  High school wrestling is very different from the professional wrestlers on Saturday television.

High school wrestling is an actual sport, where professional wrestling is an entertainment show, designed for shock value and high ratings.  There are no rings used in high school wrestling, only mats designed for the purpose of the sport.  Where professional wrestling uses crazy antics, costumes, and inappropriate attire that provides no safety benefits, school wrestling is performed in a uniform that is equipped with safety gear such as head protection, knee pads, and regulation shoes.  Safety is the primary concern when it comes to the sport of wrestling; entertainment and theatrics are the main point in professional wrestling.

One of the biggest fears that parents may experience is the thought that their son will be hurled across the room during an event.  This couldn’t be further from the truth.  In fact, when it comes to the sport of wrestling, violent actions are not tolerated.  The sport of wrestling involves hard work, determination, and a high degree of physical training and commitment.  It is also a fairly safe sport that does not promote violence in any way.

Wrestling is an aggressive sport that requires skill, strategy, and strength.  It does not promote violence, or aggressive behavior outside of the wrestling match.  Referred to as an “individual” sport, wrestling does not rely on outside equipment, such as balls or bats but relies solely upon the strength of the wrestler.  It is recommended that children, who are interested in participating in wrestling during their high school years, begin during their middle school years.  High school is considered too late to begin a wrestling career.
