Building a foundation
The Nokomis Wrestling Club is part of the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board’s Youth Wrestling League. Along with the MPRB and a large group of volunteer coaches, officials, and administrators, our mission is to provide quality coaching, approachable competition opportunities, and a fun environment for wrestlers of all ages and experience levels.
We love wrestling. Wrestling is such a fun, cool sport. It’s a martial art. Kids love martial arts. There’s no punching or kicking, though. And it’s on a nice, padded mat. Parents tend to like those parts.
We do not emphasize winning and losing — we focus on understanding the sport, becoming better athletes, and developing personal accountability and goal setting skills (those things do tend to lead to winning, if and when that does become an emphasis).
Our goal as coaches is to help kids and parents love wrestling as much as we do, so we structure our practices and competitions around being a good sport and a good teammate, having fun and burning energy, and learning fundamental principles and techniques that work whether you’re a first-year athlete or a seasoned veteran.
We’re so excited to have you on the team.
