At ETKO Sports Academy, our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of fitness for people of all ages. This vision was brought to life by our Director and Commonwealth Bronze Medallist, Vio Etko, who developed our wrestling programme to raise the standard of wrestling in the local area and ignite a passion for the sport.

The programme is designed to introduce children of all abilities to wrestling, focusing on the sport’s fundamentals while teaching technical skills in a controlled and supportive environment. Vio has carefully crafted a three-stage progression, with each stage building on key wrestling skills and incorporating fun games and exercises to improve muscular endurance, coordination, balance, speed, flexibility and body awareness.

Each session is structured with clear lesson plans tailored to each skill level, ensuring steady progress. After completing each stage, participants will have a solid understanding of basic wrestling techniques and may be invited to join our wrestling development sessions, where they’ll learn how to apply their skills in a competitive setting.

Our junior wrestling classes for boys and girls build on the skills developed in the earlier stages of our programme. They are inclusive and suitable for children of all abilities.

As with all our children’s programmes, these classes are underpinned by ETKO Sports Academy’s Fundamental Movement and Basic Sport Skills Programme.

In addition to learning introductory wrestling techniques, class participants will benefit from strength and conditioning instruction, which can help to enhance performance across a range of sports.
