Our Mission
The objectives of the Washington State
Wrestling Association are to promote wrestling at all levels throughout
the state of Washington, and to ensure the continuation of, and improve
upon, opportunities for safe competition with exposure to various styles
of wrestling. It is the intent that the Washington State Wrestling
Association will be able to meet these objectives by creating
opportunities in wrestling for competitors of all ages and, along with
their coaches, parents, and fans, encourage their continued participation
in their sport as they advance through their lives.
The control and direction of the
Washington State Wrestling Association shall be placed in the hands of
those people who are now working with Washington's wrestlers, and the
goals of the Association shall include the development of responsible
wrestling administrators from the ranks of the Washington program at the
local, state, and national levels who will provide leadership and
direction to their membership, to develop an attitude of sincere concern
among all coaches toward the improvement of all levels and aspects of
wrestling from elementary through Olympic levels of competition, to
provide channels of communication within Washington and with the various
other states, furthering the exchange of ideas and experience to the
benefit of all wrestlers, to develop an attitude of unity within the State
of Washington toward program development and achievement, to increase the
positive attitudes of educator, wrestlers, and the general public toward
the art and science of wrestling, to assist with those activities which
can be developed in a state wide basis, to provide a system for democratic
representation of all competitors, coaches and concerned people in local,
state and national organizations and activities dedicated to the sport of
continuity of effort as wrestlers and coaches step forward from elementary
level to the most advanced and
successful endeavor for which they may strive.
