LeagueTournament 2010

APAL Wrestling occurs in the fall and is designed for middle school aged boys and girls to learn basic and more advanced wrestling techniques. Participants are paired with other wrestlers of similar age, weight, and experience. Every practice is supervised by coaches with wrestling experience and is lots of fun. No previous experience is necessary to participate. There are no try outs for the APAL wrestling team. Each person gets an equal opportunity to compete. We will encourage and assist athletes to maintain a high academic and behavioral standard. Please see our web site in late August for information regarding the 2012 season.

League Tournament 2010

Coach Kermit teaching technique

"I enjoyed the fun of it. I liked the experience. It was also fun to win a medal. It took up time form being bored at home. It was a lot of fun."

"Phenomenal experience! Coaches are to be commended for their excellent skills, patience, and love for the kids."

Coach Bankson teaching proper techniques

"It's all about the kids! Everyone involved only has the kid's welfare in mind."

"I appreciated that my son has a positive experience with the police. At this age it's great that in his rebellious stage of life he can have this."

"APAL goes WAY beyond the sport of wrestling. It unites our community, provides mentors for our kids and keeps the kids busy learning positivie skills. Thank you APAL."

"Thank you - it has been one of the best sports experiences ever for my son, and has given him new confidence and confirmation that he is capable of being part of a team with varying abilities. This has been a huge step forward for him and his entire family is very proud, and extremely impressed with your coaches".

"I'm so impressed with the quality of the coaching. (They) take all kinds of kids and build a harmonious supportive team. What a benefit to the community."
