2. What's the most important part of starting wrestling as a young kid?
THank you!! I am very excited about this!!1. Don't be a drill sergeant. Keep it fun.
2. Teach them a few simple moves, on their feet and on the mat.
3. If the wrestler is a beginner, wrestle in beginner tournaments. For most kids, it isn't much fun getting pummeled.
This touches on something that should be the #1 goal of every youth athletics coach.1. Don't be a drill sergeant. Keep it fun.

Eastern Iowa has a lot of good wrestling clubs. My recommendation would be to go to one of them that is close to you. Kids don't want to spend hours in the car. The biggest club in Eastern Iowa is Big Game, I believe they have a location in North Liberty and the Quad Cities. Then you have the Hawkeye wrestling Club out of Iowa City, Eastern Iowa Wrestling club out of CR, DC Elite out of Burlington, Empire Wrestling Academy out of Muscatine, and PACK 732 out of Wilton. I think Sebolt might have a branch in Eastern Iowa but I'm not sure about that info. I know some schools have good kids clubs as well. If it is a 1st or 2nd year youngster a school club is probably fine.1. What are the best wrestling clubs in Iowa? (eastern Iowa would be the best).

Sorry if this is the wrong board for this.
North Liberty Wrestling Club is a very good kids club as well. I wrestled with 2 of the coaches on staff. They both wrestled in college and they have some fine young wrestlers. If you are just beggining you might want to start there. Also another recommendation is to find out where his buddies go. Kids seem to be more engaged and likely to stick it out if they are around their pals.I might check out Big Game. I am right there in North Liberty. Thank you for the recommendations

Not going to a big wrestling club right away. Local club with friends if possible and your only input should be just telling them to have fun, stop reaching behind your head and to suck it up, pussy.1. What are the best wrestling clubs in Iowa? (eastern Iowa would be the best).

LMAO.... I am going to start practicing those right away! I have heard the last one a bunch luckily.Not going to a big wrestling club right away. Local club with friends if possible and your only input should be just telling them to have fun, stop reaching behind your head and to suck it up, pussy.
I'm far from an expert on this topic, but have read a number of books that made this point, and it makes sense to me. That being that for activities/sports/jobs that require rapid thinking and often unplanned reactions/decisions/movements, having more 'generalist' or diverse training is far superior and less prone to burnout, and is best if started at an early age when brain wiring is more malleable. You want to be a good golfer, practice your swing 100,000 times. You want to be a good wrestler, integrate more diverse training (traditional wrestling move training, some boxing, jiu jitsu, gymnastics, maybe even dodgeball 🙂). I think this also fits the 'keep it fun' suggestion others have made above. I'd favor clubs that use more of a diverse training approach. JMO.
Youre always so helpful.You freaking dorks. This little kid has never wrestled and your advice is to seek out elite clubs and those with a “diversified training approach.” 😂
May as well tell the guy to force his kind into every tournament, scream “coaching instructions” at him mat side, call him a pu$$y a$$ bltch when he loses, and spend the trip home telling him that he’s embarrassed his whole family.
Like Sans said, find a local/school club, get him some basics, and make it fun. Club shopping can come much later.

Helpful with a side of asshole and a touch of drama!!Easily the first or second (along with Sans) most helpful post in the thread.
Even the elite clubs have beginner group level practices separated from the more experience kids.You freaking dorks. This little kid has never wrestled and your advice is to seek out elite clubs and those with a “diversified training approach.” 😂
