Saskatchewan Wrestling’s Grassroots Team is excited to collaborate with schools and educators across the province to grow the sport of wrestling.
They would love the opportunity to bring their "Learn to Wrestle" program to your school. No prior experience is necessary—our qualified coaches will lead all sessions, demonstrate key skills, and guide students through fun, safe, and engaging activities.
We are currently gathering contact information from interested schools. If you would like to bring a Demo Day to your students, please submit details at https://forms.gle/J7rNePDVx9rtXkJL8
Once submitted, their team will follow up to confirm potential dates, discuss travel logistics, and review any associated expenses. The ultimate goal is to keep visits accessible, affordable, and easy for your school.
