While the Goal is to advance each wrestler to the next level of our program, there is never any rush to do so. Each young wrestler progresses at his or her speed. Once a young wrestler and his or her parents feel they are ready for the next level, he or she will be tested. Participants must meet or accede the minimum requirements in order to advance to the next level. Wrestlers on this level should practice no more than 2x a week.
