Question

Answer
Get involved with a wrestling club or your local junior high school or high school.

Call the high school and ask to speak to the wrestling coach.  Then ask him where you can find a program.

You can also contact USA Wrestling at www.themat.com and they can help you find a local club.

Let your parents know that you want to wrestle.  Amateur wrestling is very safe when conducted by experienced coaches.  Help your parents understand that you are working in supervised clubs with good coaches and they will support you.  It is great exercise.  Your opportunity for gain is much greater than any potential for injury.
