Recreational

Fall/Winter

Registration is OPEN.  Practice locations will not be released until we confirm coaches and High school practice spaces.

Recreational Wrestling is for beginner to intermediate wrestlers ages 6 to 14 years old.  This is a semi-competitive environment with 2 weeknight practices.  Practices are usually an hour and a half long, full of basic to advanced skills. Our Head coaches meet once a week to determine fair match-ups within their teams.  Meets and tournaments are held on Saturdays from December through early February.  Howard County Recreational League is the largest Rec league in the state of Maryland.
