Many families can’t afford team sports—but you can make a difference. High fees in elite youth programs often exclude kids from moderate to low-income families, denying them mentorship, motivation, opportunities to play in high school teams, and missing out on opportunities to earn a college scholarship.

Starting wrestling last year I didn't know what to expect. If you were to tell me that this sport would change my whole outlook on life, I would laugh. Going through all of the hospitalizations with my team and coaches by my side shows me how close we are, like family. We laugh, we cry, we bleed, we lose and we win as one. The culture of wrestling is one like no other. The Coaches instill amazing work ethic and excitement in us not only for the match, but for life because if you wrestle, you can do anything.
