What is the Wrestle'Lympics?

An annual fundraising event for the
Best Buddies
® North Andover Chapter that features exhibition wrestling matches between special athletes and varsity standouts. 

Youth and high school divisions compete on the center mat under the lights at the North Andover High School gymnasium, with all the fanfare of a traditional wrestling match. 

In the four weeks leading up to the main event, the athletes practice with coaches and athletes from the Youth and High School wrestling programs. They learn three fundamental moves:
  1. A takedown
  2. An escape
  3. A pin

At the Wrestle 'Lympics event, athletes have an opportunity to show off the techniques they have learned, and enjoy being part of a team.
