Questions Parents Ask Us
My child has never wrestled. Where do we start?
Start with Poway Slammers. It's our beginner program for kids ages 6–14, built around fundamentals, safety and fun. Kids who already have wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu or Judo experience can look at Poway Elite.
Is wrestling safe for young kids?
Safety comes first. Slammers pairs kids by age and size and teaches body awareness, tumbling and safe technique before any live wrestling. If your child has a health concern or a past injury, mention it in your message and check with your doctor.
What does my child need for the first practice?
A t-shirt, athletic shorts without pockets or zippers, and wrestling shoes. Headgear is optional for beginners but recommended. Slammers and Elite wrestlers also need a USA Wrestling membership card.
Do kids have to compete in tournaments?
Not in Slammers. Weekend competition is available, but it's always optional. Elite is built for athletes who want to train and compete at a higher level.
Can we watch a practice before we register?
Yes. Send a message here, choose "Signing Up for a Program," and say you'd like to visit. We'll find a day for you and your child to come watch.
What if the cost is a problem for our family?
Tell us before you register. Send a message and we'll talk it through with you privately. We don't want cost to be the reason a kid misses out on wrestling.
