Founded in 2008, HYAA Wrestling has grown into one of the largest youth programs in Massachusetts. This program is available to both girls & boys ages Kindergarten- 8th grade.
Wrestling is split into two divisions: K-1 & 2-8, boys & girls wrestle in the same practice & tournaments.
The K-1 wrestling division focuses on basic wrestling fundamentals & skills.
- Practices are held once per week separately from the 2-8 division.
- Participation in tournaments and other competitive events is voluntary and left to the discretion of parents, although most tournaments have a division of this age group. If you’re unsure, ask a coach!
Grades 2-8 focuses on the more technical and challenging aspects of the sport.
- Practice is held 3 days per week with competition nearly every Sunday throughout the season. While competing is voluntary, it is encouraged in this age group.
The seasons begins December 4 and runs through the state championships. Often held in early February (Date TBD)
Practices are held at Sylvester Elemantary School Gym. Recreational Team practices 2 days per week, Competition practices 3 days per week
***NEW THIS YEAR***

This change is not to discourage other from competing in tournaments!
