Wrestle?
We get this question all the time, and the answer is YES! Girls can wrestle—and they are excelling like never before. In fact, girls' wrestling is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. With Alabama officially sanctioning it as a high school sport in 2024, more girls than ever are stepping onto the mat, proving their strength, skill, and determination. Wrestling is for everyone, and we are proud to support and empower young female athletes in our program!
