    To start a wrestling program. Check the guidelines and rules with your local AAU. They have programs on different styles of wrestling. Freestyle, greco roman(upper body) are popular at age 8 and up male or female. Local High Schools such as S R Butler, Bob Jones or Huntsville and Grissom. Those coaches realize the younger you start the better. George Kostakis at Woody Anderson Ford, Huntsville. 256-517-1215

    You will find some great resources for running a wrestling club and starting one at http://WrestlingTrainingMedia.com

    You'll even find a video that you can use to recruit kids to your club.

    Find out if there is a group called Beat the Streets Wrestling in your area. We have one in NY and they are responsible for putting together a middle school program the likes of which were never seen in NY.

    Good Luck, Mike
