Palau's Wrestling Program started at Palau High School, Emmaus High School and Mindszenty High School earlier this month and will continue throughout this year. Thanks to consulations with the PE Teachers and School Administrators earlier last month for allowing us to conduct our wrestling program. Our goal is to provide an interest and awareness of our sport to the studens and to make it fun and attractive for students to be involved in our program. Many of the kids are involved in learning more about fitness, basic wrestling and more importantly how to warm up, stretch, play games and basically learn basic wrestling.
As many as 15 or more students are involved in each of the class sessions and wrestling mats were provided to 2 of the schools since they were not able to train at the Palau National Gym. Coach Young Ho Ko is currently delivering the program to the schools with the assistance of John Tarkong Jr. One of our plans is to also conduct a coaching course for PE Teachers if interested in order to eventually take over and possibly conduct their own programs.
Stay tuned for more...
