CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (April 6) -- UWW launches Wrestle4Fun toolkit following an extensive review of the Wrestle4Fun programme by the UWW Development Department and the creation of new videos, the Wrestle4Fun toolkit is available to all who wish to introduce wrestling in schools and to young children.
The content and videos are available on the UWW Academy platform: Wrestle4Fun | Academy | United World Wrestling (uww.org). The lesson are located in the Resources section and the videos will be in the Video Library.
The programme aims at assisting Physical Education teachers and/or club coaches in introducing wrestling to children from ages 4 up to 16 in a pedagogical fun approach. This approach is based around the Teaching Games for Understanding concept. Children will be able to learn the sport of wrestling through fun games and activities.
There are 5 stages based on developmental level. Each stage is divided into 15 lessons for a total of 75 lessons. Each lesson plan has videos to illustrate the activities and skills. Collectively, there are over 200 videos within the programme.
We hope that these tools will help you introduce wrestling to young children in a safe/healthy environment.
Currently, Wrestle4Fun is only available in English. In time, the programme will be developed in additional languages.
For any further information or assistance you may require, please feel free to contact Zach Errett, UWW Education Manager and/or Deqa Niamkey, UWW Development Director for any questions or further information.
