McCaskey East
 Middle School

          This level consist of seventh through ninth grade students.   Although wrestling should always be viewed as fun, there will be a shift from the basic skills and "wrestle for fun" mentality to a "wrestle for competition" program where athletes get the opportunity to test the skills they have worked to develop. The focus is still not on winning, however, it is placed on using competition to evaluate progress. Much emphasis at this level will be placed on the preparation for competition, as well as handling the results of competition in a positive manner.
