LEWISTOWN PANTHER WRESTLING

Elementary Program

Lewistown Elementary Wrestling is part of the Susquehanna Valley Elementary Wrestling League.  The SVEWL is an organization that promotes the sport of wrestling from grades Kindergarten to 6th grade.  Teams in the league are Montoursvile, Jersey Shore, Midd-West, Shikellamy, Williamsport, Mifflinburg, Selinsgrove, Lewistown, and Milton.  Each week during the season the teams compete against each other in a dual match format, similar to the junior and senior high teams.  The varsity matches are run as a regular dual meet.  Each team has one wrestler at each of the 20 weights and is scored just like the high school matches.  Following the varsity match, there will be JV matches where all wrestlers will be matched based on weight, experience, and ability.  All matches are held on Sunday afternoons.  There will be a JV and a Varsity league tournament at the end of the season which we will attend as a team.

The simple goal of Lewistown Elementary Wrestling is to introduce your child to the sport. We want your child to have a fun and positive experience. Like most athletic activities, we will emphasize the fundamentals of the sport, including the basic skills, drills and technique.

Instant wrestling success does not come easy.  Very few wrestlers start winning as soon as they are introduced to the sport.  It may be years before your wrestler develops a competitive edge and the desire to win during all matches.  Depending upon the natural ability, physical traits, and emotional state of your child, their wrestling ability will vary.  We encourage you not to push or drive too hard until you feel that your child is ready.

We wish you the best success in the sport of wrestling!
