high school wrestling started as a school sport in the early 1930s. how ever some of the greatest Americans in history wrestled before that. Lincoln and Jefferson being two.the sport started in Greece about 5000 years ago,not as we know it but a mixer of boxing and judo(whats now know as mixed martial arts per say)or in wrestling greco roman without punches who and where for in US high school not sure.1996 US girls wrestling assoc. started. In the last Olympics four women also made history for being the us women's team and the Olympics now has women wrestling as part of its sports.

My sons have been in wrestling for years, if we are talking about school wrestling teams, not the TV WWW stuff.\nWrestling has fewer injuries than most other sports. I am always relieved when football season is over and wrestling begins because the injuries are fewer and less serious, usually ( my son does football and wrestling.)\nIn the past few years Ive been going to school tournaments, I've only seen one serious injury; a young man injured his neck and could not move and the ambulance came to take him to the hospital. But I believe it was not a permanent injury like the paralysis and brain injuries that happen in football. Most of the injuries I've seen, and my son has had, are lots of bloody noses, bruises, and mat burns from rubbing against the mats, broken or sprained fingers occasionally, and sore muscles. If you decide to take wrestling, make sure you shower and wash your clothes after every practice and every match. Skin fungus is rampant in wrestling and there is a problem with it in most schools , but our school doesn't have a problem because of the strict shower rules.\nhttp://www.unc.edu/depts/nccsi/AllSport.htm\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/MMWR/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5538a1.htm\nhttp://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/wrestling-injuries.html\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/10777/wrestle.htm

It's not hard if you are disciplined. It's actually easier than high school in that no one forces you to go to class, you set your own schedule, and  you take fewer classes, BUT remember going to class is the key to doing well in college...if you go everyday and pay attention, take notes, you will be just fine.

wwe is fake. I, however, am a highschool wrestler. I just got home from an all day tournament, in fact. And let me tell you, High school wrestling is as real as it gets. It is the hardest six minutes of any sport. I had to have my coach open my fingers cause i used my arms so much and my hands wouldnt open. So "pro" wrestling is fake and a waste of time, where olimpic and high school wrestling is unimaginably difficult and real.

You know, a lot of you just don't get it.  Do you see the physiques in the ring?  The majority of them are in tip top shape - and they have to be, in order to succeed in this business.  Why the hell do they have wrestling schools?  So that they can train their @$$es off, until they can do the moves in their sleep.  You have to take wrestling seriously.  An untrained wrestler who goes out there can really seriously injure a fellow wrestler or heaven forbid, even kill them.  It IS a sport, because with any other sport, you have to PRACTICE.  It is also entertainment to go along with the art of wrestling. You have to have some entertainment to go along with the feuds (ex. Spirit Squad vs. DX).  Unlike a lot of sports, they have no off season.  They work 300+ days a year.  That's a lot of endurance and dedication.  If it's so fake and dumb to you, don't watch it. I'd LOVE to see some of you get in that ring with a wrestler.  I'm sure you'd be crying for your mommy within seconds.

My son wrestled in Junior high and High school 7 years. And yes you do get injured sometimes. And it does not matter if you follow the safety guidelines. Things happen he has had concussions, seperated ribs, broken fingers and more. Also depends on your coach. My sons coach was a jerk who only wanted trophys and nothing less. So my sons eating habits changed and so did his attitude. I was glad when he got out of school just because of the things that happened. If you want to wrestle look into it more do some research on your coaches and the school wrestling team. Personally I think it is a great sport if it is taught right. But be aware you can and will be injured wrestiling. Sit down and have a heart to heart with your parents but do what they say. You will look back as you get older and thank them. Besides maybe there is a local boys and girls club that you can wrestle at?? But this is my personal experience with wrestling. I can tell you a lot about junior high and high school wrestling. At least what happened with my son.

I had a female try out in high school for our team she quit after the first week. alot of guys would seriously hit her hard for know reason. I honestly believe you could try out for your high school team the problem is that you are going to take a lot of abuse from the guys on your team and the opposing team.

Although that seems like an awesome idea, I don't think it could ever really work. You could argue that MMA is not much different from amateur wrestling, but the administrators at your school would probably look at the UFC and Pride Fighting, note their violent fights, and immediately shoot down the idea. Obviously this program would not be anything like UFC or Pride, but having any relation to those two organizations would probably make people nervous. Also, getting coaches for the program would probably be pretty difficult.\n\nYou should still ask at least. I wish this kind of thing would have been thought of when I was in high school, I would have joined in a heart beat.

Yes. I agree its challenging because the kids mouth off to you or you have parents pressuring you get there son or daughter a good  grade.

I will show my sports geek side with this remark, but what a fun question.  Wrestling was my sport of choice when I was competing - I started in 4th grade and continued until I was 21.  When my daughter reached an age where she started playing volleyball, I started coaching it.\n\nI have to make the same assumption that John did - you meant real wrestling.\n\nThe reason I think it is such a fun question is because it contrasts the team sports that represent the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the neccessity of team work.\n\nIn wrestling you have a sport where, even though you are on a team, when you are on the mat going against your opponent, you are all by yourself.  There is nothing (legal anyway) that your team mates can do to help you or to pick you up.  In volleyball you have the sport where team work is the most important of any team sport.  Every person on the team has a job to at every single moment.  If you are having a bad time with something, your team mates can protect your or pick you up.\n\nI don't know that one is "better" than the other.  Both require their athletes to be in top physical shape, mentaly and physically tough and both require a certain "mean streak" to successful at the top level.\n\nNow if the question is which sport is the best to watch - I have to go with volleyball.  During the college season, Fox Sports shows a Pac 10 volleyball game each Sunday.  I watch no matter who is playing.

No. I went through wrestling school too.  It should not be. I don't let my kids watch it. These days...what are they going to watch...Smackdown or RAW?  When Vince McMahon has a playboy playmate on his lap and he is stroking her cleavage....uh that alone would say no for me.  Then, how do I expain that crashing down on an opponet on a table is fake.  The violence is too much for a young kid.

it depends. the smaller the school the more clicky it will be. large high schools with big populations are easier to get through. by the way, not every single person in highschool is a jock or supermodel as depicted on t.v.
