Programs, often offered by chartered wrestling clubs, that provide opportunities for people of all ages to learn, become competitive in and enjoy Greco-Roman or freestyle wrestling, a sport in which two athletes attempt to throw one another off balance with the objective of pinning their opponent. In freestyle wrestling, both the arms and legs can be used to lift, throw and/or pin an opponent or defend against an attack; in Greco-Roman style wrestling, only the arms can be employed in legal moves and the legs of the opponent may not be attacked. Wrestling programs may provide coaching assistance, access to necessary equipment and facilities, and may sponsor or make arrangements for athletes to participate in amateur wrestling competitions which are structured for different age groups. Officials for the matches may also be available.
