TDR Mat Challenge
The TakeDown Report seeks to increase wrestling opportunities for high school and middle school students eastern North Carolina. We have given publicity, support and recognition to wrestlers and teams for over 25 seasons. New teams at schools need a coach, a wrestling mat and eventually uniforms for competition. Once a school provides teams on which students can wrestle then more students will learn the unique skills and lessons that the sport can provide.
Now we can offer financial support for new teams and programs starting at high schools and middle schools. Letters have been sent to school districts that do not currently have wrestling programs. We invite wrestling fans and enthusiasts to encourage administrators to accept the Mat Challenge and to start a new team. Contact us at martinkfleming@gmail.com in order to follow up on our offer.
