BWF hosted a Youth Wrestling Clinic from December 14 to 23, 2005. During the Christmas and New Years holidays, we found that every year when Christmas activities take place near the Palau National Gym at the Summer House, there are so many children that come to watch the entertainment and other activities to include a visit from Santa Clause and to eat lots of candies. During this time, kids would also come to the gym to watch us wrestle, run on the mats and leave their candies and trash behind. Seeing this take place, we decided to conduct a wrestling clinic and little did we know, we had over fifteen (15) kids on the first day ranging from ages 9 and up and more on the second day and so on. The wrestling clinic was conducted by John Tarkong Jr. and this also gave Elgin Elwais, one of our wrestlers, a chance to to practice his coaching skills with the kids. The clinic lasted throughout the holidays and the purpose of conducting a clinic was to give the kids an idea of what wrestling is all about and provide them an opportunity to take part in a sport where they can actually have fun. The clinic was designed to make it enjoyable for kids of all ages. We even had five (5) girls participate in the clinic.
