Welcome to what has been an unusual 2020 wrestling season!!  Welcome to our new committee members, Jenna Telford, Regan and Penny Hopkins, Ed Read and Randall Hancock.  We look forward to having some fresh blood and new ideas for the new year.

Our new season kicked off on Wednesday 22 July for the entire school term. Classes are as follows and are weight and skill dependent;

Beginners – 5-9 years – 5.30pm to 6.15pm

10 years + (including adults) – 6.15pm to 7.30pm

Due to COVID19 this year we will only be competing at New Zealand Club Championships in September at Tauranga and New Zealand Championships in October at Taeri.  We are looking forward to another competitive season.  If you need any information please head to our Facebook page, Featherston Amateur Wrestling Club or email featherstonamateurwrestling@gmail.com
