Toddler Tuesday Wrestling
Big Movement for Our Youngest Athletes
Toddler Tuesday introduces children to movement, athletics, and the wrestling room through age-appropriate games and activities.
This playful, low-contact class helps young athletes improve coordination, gain confidence, follow directions, and become comfortable training alongside other children.
No wrestling experience is needed.

A Fun First Step Into Wrestling
Toddler Tuesday is not a traditional wrestling practice. At this age, our priority is helping children enjoy movement and become comfortable in a structured athletic environment.
Athletes learn through playful activities that keep them moving, engaged, and excited to return.
Practices may include:
- Bear crawls and other animal movements
- Hopping and jumping
- Balance activities
- Forward rolls and beginner tumbling
- Agility exercises
- Coordination games
- Wrestling-based games and drills
- Listening and direction-following activities
- Limited, closely supervised partner contact
The class keeps direct contact to a minimum. A small amount may be introduced near the end of practice as children become more comfortable.
What Toddler Tuesday Builds
Toddler Tuesday helps young athletes begin developing:
- Balance
- Coordination
- Body awareness
- Agility
- Confidence
- Listening skills
- Comfort around coaches and teammates
- Familiarity with the wrestling room
- Positive associations with exercise and movement
The goal is not to teach advanced wrestling techniques. The goal is to create a fun foundation for future learning.
Preparing for the Beginner Program
Toddler Tuesday serves as a bridge into the Broad Axe Beginner Wrestling Program.
As athletes become older, more confident, and ready for additional structure and partner interaction, our coaches can help families determine when it is time to enter the Beginner Program.
There is no pressure to move quickly. Every child develops at a different pace, and our priority is creating a positive first experience.
What to Bring
Athletes should bring:
- Comfortable athletic clothing
- A refillable water bottle
- Wrestling shoes, if available
If your child does not own wrestling shoes, contact us before the first class for guidance.
