“Hidden Valley Youth Wrestling is about to begin.

“This will be the 18th season that I have coached youth wrestling in this area.  We have a very good group of coaches who work well with the wrestlers on the fundamentals of folk style wrestling to more advanced wrestling techniques as they develop.

“Past wrestlers have gone on to compete at the state and national level during their youth wrestling experience.  The youth wrestling program provides a good foundation and technique for kids who will continue to wrestle.

“Hidden Valley Youth Wrestling practices will begin on Monday, November 7, 2011. Practices will be on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at the Hidden Valley High School wrestling room from 6 to 7:30 p.m.  If you would like to participate you can click here to sign up.

“If you do not have a youth wrestling program in your area, you are welcome to join.  We are accepting 6 –13 year olds. If you have any questions you can call Jim King 989-6318 (H) or Greg Winston 520-0160 for information.”
