Waitsburg Matbirds Hold Wrestling Day Camp

The Waitsburg High School gymnasium was a busy place Saturday afternoon. Thirty-two kids, ranging in age from 5-14 turned out for the Matbirds first annual day camp. Head Coach Jake Winona ran the event.

"Kids learned about what wresting is and were shown several different techniques on how to score points in a match and how to take down their opponents," said organizer Kristy Taylor.

After several hours of training, the kids were served lunch which was donated by the Waitsburg Fire Department.

"It was a good way to get kids interested in joining the Waitsburg Matbirds. Our official season will start Jan. 23 and run through the end of March," Taylor said.
