Season Details

Session I: This session is for boys and girls that are beginners as well as returning wrestlers from PreK-5th Grade. Grades will be broken into 2 different session times.
PreK-2nd Graders and 3rd-5th graders will practice together. These age groups will then be paired up according to size and skill to best support your wrestler to learn and have fun. Session I is all about the fundamentals of wrestling, conditioning, team building, and sportsmanship. 
There will be optional local weekend tournaments the coaches will encourage our wrestlers to compete in.
*6th-8th Grade boys and girls should sign up for wrestling through their middle school during session I.

Eagan's Youth Tournament will be held at the beginning of January. More details to come. 


Session II: This session is for boys and girls from Kindergarten-8th grade. Grades Kindergarten-2nd and 3rd-8th will practice together. Session II will continue to build on the skill base from session I and focus more on competition. Competing in local weekend tournaments will be highly encouraged with the goal to qualify for the Youth State Tournament held in March.

Growth of Girls Wrestling

In the State on MN each year more and more girls come out to compete on the mat. This growth has began to open up more options for girls to join team not only to compete with the boys but many opportunities to compete with other girls. Last year EAA wrestling had 3 youth girls on the team and we hope to see more join us this season. 

Girls who join EAA wrestling will practice and compete with boys. We will also share other local options for those interested to join area all girls leagues. 

Join us for our second annual girls' camp to see if wrestling is something you would like to try.
