Program areas at Wrestle Like a Girl
University Initiatives: Wrestle Like a Girl was successful in bringing women's wrestling under the NCAA umbrella as an Emerging Sport in 2020 and intends to use the same targeted approach to bring Women's Wrestling to Emerging Sport status in 2023, and NCAA Championship Status by 2025. Wrestle Like a Girl has also created a fund to drive awareness and support for women's collegiate wrestling programs.
Stakeholder Education:Coaches Education: Female-specific coaching education is paramount as female wrestlers flock to the traditionally male-dominated "space." High school girls' wrestling has grown by an incredible 30%. Additionally, higher education is left wanting for female wrestling coaches as the number of college wrestling programs has increased dramatically from ten to over one hundred within a decade. Empowering women to take on coaching and other leadership roles is critical to the growth and efficacy of women's wrestling.Wrestle Like A Girl develops evidence-informed coaching material unique to female wrestlers through group think tanks made up of the country's most accomplished coaches of female wrestlers. We identify where coaching girls is similar to coaching boys AND the areas that additional training is necessary to support the female brain, body, and health. Through webinars, clinics, task forces, and our education resources, we have directly engaged thousands of coaches and wrestling leaders.
Wrestling Events: Empowerment camps, clinics, and Wrestle Like a Girl Tournaments that work to develop the total athlete and increase opportunities for girls and young women to wrestle other females.
Scholastic Youth Initiatives: Wrestle Like a Girl has a strong commitment to the growth and development of female wrestling by providing unique opportunities to wrestle at the high school level through determined advocacy to advance the official recognition of girls wrestling as an official sport at the high school level across all 50 states.
