Welcome to the "Kids Place" Wrestling Web Page

This site is operated by the Silverbacks Wrestling Club of Mira Mesa as a courtesy to San Diego wrestlers.  The site's purpose is to provide Kid wrestlers (Schoolboy/girl, Novice, Midget, Bantam, and Rookie) a place where they can find information about wrestling in San Diego, and promote USA Wrestling at the state, regional, and national levels.

"Our whole purpose is to get you on the mat wrestling and hitting the tournament circuit at the local, state, regional, and national levels.  It doesn't matter which club you are wrestling for, just so long as you keep bringing it!  And are having fun doing it!"
