Minutemen Youth Wrestling: Welcome
|
| Younger Team 2011-12 |
 |
Berlin has long enjoyed a strong wrestling program at the High School and Middle School levels. The Berlin Parks and Recreation Department sponsored the Berlin Youth Wrestling until 2004-05. The club as of the 2005-2006 season became a full member of USA Wrestling Connecticut. Currently we have 92 registered and 89 active for the 2010-11 season. 2010 set another record for the club as we have a record number of female wrestlers in the program with 10. We currently have 53 members registered for 2011-12. Currently we have wrestlers come from Berlin, Cromwell, Glastonbury, Middletown, New Britain and Portland. We have also had members from Rocky Hill and Newington in the past.
This program was started to expand the interest to wrestling to the younger boys and girls who live in Berlin, CT. Over the year's many people have been involved and helped the program get to where it is today. We are open to boys & girls in grades PK to 8. We accept participants from all communities.
In 2001-02 we have reached a new record for participants. We finished the season with a total of 44 youth. Our 2004-05 team stood at 38 wrestlers. The 3rd and 4th graders were crowned Champions at the Marshwood New England Kids Championships in 2005. 2005-06 our roster consisted of 37 young athletes wrestling. 2007-08 we had record 62 wrestlers in the program. We continued to grow in 2008-09 with 67 wrestlers registered. We had a record 92 wrestlers registered for the 2009-10. Last year we tied our registration record at 92 registered and 89 stayed active for the 2010-11 season.
In the past we practiced on Monday and Tuesday evenings at the Old Knights of Columbus Hall. Our matches were usually scheduled for Friday evenings. If you are interested in arranging a match contact Coach Moss via e-mail. We anticipate changing our practice nights with the availablity of Thursday nights this year.
The program is divided into four groups. The PK, K and 1st Graders will meet on Monday and Wednesday from 5:45 – 6:45 PM. Then on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:50 PM to 7:50 PM the program will be offered for 2, 3 and 4 graders. On Tuesday and Thursdays the 4 (returning), 5 and 6 graders will practice from 5:45 – 6:45 PM while our Tournament Team which is selected experienced 4 (approved), 5 and 6 graders and all 7 and 8 graders will practice from 6:50 – 8 PM. Tournament team members are expected to participate in tournaments on Sundays. We practicing at 20 Tuttle Place in Middletown right off of route 3.
