The South Coast Grapplers, a regional wrestling club, begins practice on Tuesday, Oct. 14, in the Southwestern Oregon Community College wrestling room at the new Recreation Center.

The club meets from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and is for students 6 to 17 years old.

Wrestling is a good sport for physical development because it involves overall strength, agility and balance and requires a blend of athletic skill.

Wrestling is unique because it can be aggressive without being violent. It also promotes sportsmanship and discipline.

For more information about the club, call club coach Derek Hite at 267-7436.
