FREESTYLE WRESTLING

West Central Outlaws is a Freestyle wrestling program that is open to all athletes from all nearby communities. Student-athletes will learn additional Greco-Roman wrestling techniques as time allows. We intend to get more mat time and wrestling experience for the West Central area wrestlers and promote the sport with our surrounding communities. Our athletes will have the opportunity to practice, develop, and learn a different style of wrestling with new and different practice partners in a fun, safe, and productive atmosphere. This will enable wrestlers to continue practicing and competing outside of the high school and youth seasons.
