About the Program
Welcome to the Ridge Wrestling Team's Web Site. Our program brings together Kindergarten through 8th grade children from Basking Ridge for an instructional and competitive program where basic wrestling skills are taught and practiced in a supervised setting under the guidance of experienced coaches.
Our goal is to help kids develop confidence, self-reliance, discipline, and respect, while stressing the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork. Wrestlers join our program to have fun. Our coaching staff recognizes this and often incorporates "games with a purpose" into each practice so that time spent is adequately balanced between work and play. New friendships are formed and are continued on throughout their wrestling years both on and off the mat.

Kindergarten – 2nd Grade Program
The K-2 program practices on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
All practices are held at Ridge HS. This is open to all, including brand new wrestlers, novices and those with a couple of years of experience. The emphasis at this level is learning the basics of scholastic style wrestling and most importantly having fun and developing a love for the sport. |
3rd – 6th Grade Program
The wrestlers in grades 3-6 practice 3 times per week.
This is open to novice and experienced wrestlers alike and there is a level in the program for all. The wrestlers practice at the same time, but will be split up for competition purposes into the Central Jersey League A and B teams. Some wrestlers from the K-2 program who demonstrate the skill, maturity and desire to wrestle at this level may be invited to practice and compete with this team. |
7th – 8th Grade Program
Wrestlers in the 7 th and 8 th Grade Program practice 3 times per week.
Our wrestlers in grades 7-8 (as well as some from 5-6) compete in the competitive New Jersey Grade School Wrestling League (NJGSWL). Member teams extend geographically from the northern corner of New Jersey to the outskirts of New York City and west to the Delaware River. This league is probably the best of its kind in NJ and does a great job of preparing our athletes for the High School ranks. Some wrestlers from 5th and 6th grade who demonstrate the ability and maturity to compete at this level will be invited to participate on the NJGS team. |
