ELEMENTARY

Each age group will have a Coach who will be the Group Leader and other coaches who will assist with that group. Former decisions that were previoiusly made by the Head Coach will be taken care of by the Executive Board of Penn Trafford Junior Wrestling. By doing things in this fashion, it will take all of the work load off of one individual and all of the work can be divided by various individuals and committees. We are looking forward to an exciting new season of PT Jr. Wrestling.
