The 3 Step plan is designed to take a child that has never had any formal
wrestling training and move them through an organized learning system whereas
the child will move from step to step depending on their ability to learn, their
ability execute wrestling skills and their level of success. Our goals are: (1)
To develop fundamentally solid young wrestlers with good character and the
desire to be successful. (2)To coordinate our training program with the
Boyertown Junior and Senior High School programs. (3) To continue the tradition
of Championship Wrestling in Boyertown.
