Aitkin Community Education

Our goal is to develop a love for wrestling by having fun and working on skills development so our wrestlers stay involved throughout their high school years. Skills learned at this level apply to many areas of life and sport. We work on balance, coordination, mental and physical strength and determination. Wrestling is for boys and girls in grades K - 6. Grades 5/6 will start at the end of November. Grades 3/4 will start mid December Grades K - 2 will start in January. All practices will take place at the Aitkin High School Wrestling Room.

The month before the basketball season will be spent working on fundamentals and building skills. All kids are invited to come too the skills development to try out basketball and learn about the sport before making the commitment to play longer into the winter months.

Cheer squad is an afternoon program funded by the Freshwater Grant designed for youth in Kindergarten through 4th grade. Participants will learn different cheers and will perform them at various sporting events throughout the winter sports season. While the program itself is free, there is a $3 charge for pom-poms and a $13 charge for a t-shirt (unless you have one from last year).
