Answer
Hello Chloe,

In Ireland three schools appear to be currently active.

Fight Factory Pro Wrestling
10 Dublin Road, Bray
Co. Wicklow, Ireland
Website: http://www.fightfactoryprowrestling.com/training.html
Phone:085-735-6972

At Fight Factory, their website says they have classes for juniors aged 12-15 and seniors over 15. Later down the page, they you have to be 14 or over to participate. Not sure which is correct. I think the first might be more correct since it appears to be newer info. Alternatively, it might be that both are correct and that 14 year olds can participate in senior classes or something.

Pro Wrestling Ulster Pro Wrestling Training Academy (Pro Wrestling Ulster)
Ardnavelley Scout Center, 189 Old Milltown Road,
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Website: http://www.prowrestlingulster.co.uk/training.html
Phone: Phone number not available
Email: Throuigh contact form on website, under the 'Contacts' page on the main menu.

The minimum age limit at this school is 16.

Phoenix Pro Wrestling Training Academy (Phoneix Pro Wrestling)
Inchicore, Dublin
Leinster, Ireland
Website: http://www.bebo.com/phoenix-pro

This schools runs junior classes for those aged 16 and 17, senior classes for those 18 and over.

Currently, you are old enough for Junior classes at Fight Factor, if that information is currently correct. As always, contact the school to confirm details and get more info if you have any questions. Pro wrestling schools often don't have the most up-to-date websites. They can be quite busy, after all.

If you choose to leave Ireland when you are 18, that is the minimum age for pro wrestling schools in most countries, though individual schools may choose to have a earlier minimum age. In the UK, 16 is the average mimum age, but some schools have adopted 18 as the minimum age.

So, if you leave Ireland, you can try out for any school you wish, if you have the money, they have an opening and you pass any try-outs they might have first.
