The wrestling school program kicked off this year at George B. Harris Elementary School and Maris Stella Elementary School. The programs are conducted twice a week with level 1 coaches such as Blesam Tarkong, Skarley Renguul, Omdas Ueki and our youngest female coach ever Uilau Tarkong. Mentoring them is Coach John Tarkong Jr. who has been able to coordinate the schedule and program with the schools Principal, PE Teachers and the Ministry of Education as part of the after school program activities for this year.
It's exciting to see the kids from all grades take part in the program. The program kicks off with stretching / warm up excercises, drills, games and other activities that make it fun to work out and get fit at the same time. At first, their a bit scared but after watching the other kids practice and play on the mat, we've been able to attract more kids into the program while other activities such as baseball, volleyball, talent search, music, art, carving storyboards are taking place at the same time. At the High School level, wrestling is also done at Emmaus High School. Plans also include reaching out to the outer school district areas such as in Ngarchelong, Aimeliik, Peleliu and Ngaraard State.
