Valley High School Girls Wrestling (2024-25)

Eight years ago, we had two girls on our team. They were mixed in with the boys at tournaments and the opportunities to complete were not always equitable. Slowly we grew into a squad of ten girl wrestlers. With the sport being sanctioned, we knew there would be an increase in participation.

Two years ago we broke down the barriers with the sanctioning of girls wrestling by the IGHSAU. Our inaugural season ended with 28 girls on the roster from grades 7-12. I [Coach Rasmussen], expect around 30 girls this season and for that number to continue to grow as the exposure increases.

Like all high school programs, we have lots of expenses to cover (singlets, warmups, headgear, bus fees, tournament fees, and hotel fees). Two years ago we raised enough money help pay for a new wrestling mat! Please consider donating any amount to help support these young ladies. They deserve it and we can’t provide all these opportunities without your help.

Mission Statement: Teach the sport of wrestling and its disciplines of hard work, leadership, and character building.
