Chatfield Junior Wrestling
Mission and Vision
The coaches and all involved with Chatfield Junior Wrestling are committed to providing a program that will have a positive influence on the lives of those who associate with us. We believe that any youth sports program has a great responsibility not just for that sport, but for being a life molding experience. Most adults who participated in youth sports as children can describe many specific experiences that shaped their lives. We don't take our responsibility lightly!
Nearly all of the leadership for our program has competed themselves in NCAA Division I sports, and/or placed in the top levels in High School State competition. Most have earned College degrees, and all have significant coaching experience in youth sports.
Primary influence is placed on our athletes being good students with a strong moral character. We believe that this is accomplished through strong coaching role models. We also believe that children are most motivated by FUN, and that by making our program fun, the participants are more likely to follow our instruction and example. Children should be diverse, and only use sports to improve the rest of their life. Wrestling is one of the most physically demanding sports available, but also one of the most rewarding! It also improves performance in nearly all other sports because of the strength and agility training involved.
We strive to teach our wrestlers to be the best they can be in all aspects of their life through hard work, developing a strong moral character, setting/achieving personal goals and training. While all who participate will not be champions, all will improve their own self esteem and ability to succeed as individuals. We will provide the training and knowledge to allow each athlete to reach their potential in the sport of wrestling.
