I have checked out a couple of the sites that I found via google that referenced youth wrestling programs that began at the age of 5, but I was curious as to whether there was anything available before then (my son is currently 3). Any references to youth wrestling contacts near Alexandria (22310) would be greatly appreciated, even if it's for 5+ years old.

I'm not expecting anything hard core at that age group, but he enjoys play-wrestling with his friends and our st. bernards, so I thought I'd see if there was something semi-structured available.

Thanks,
Dan

Unhappy Northern VA Wrestling Federation

For what its worth, I would not join the Northern VA Wrestling Federation (NVWF). Your son will just be a tackling dummy for older heavier kids. It is not supposed to work that way, but unfortunately there are many coaches who break the rules. Another emabarrassing American Institution.

Another suggestion would be to enroll him in Judo or Brazilian Jujitsu, which are both throwing/grappling arts. I wrestled and did Judo when I was younger and took up Brazilian Jujitsu as an adult. There is considerable crossover among the three and each has improved my game in the other two.
