SLAM Birmingham (under 17s) Freestyle Wrestling Competition – British Wrestling

End Date

Olympic wrestling competition SLAMS back onto the scene to support Commonwealth Games

Impact Fitness Academy are proud to announce their first freestyle Wrestling competition since restrictions have been lifted. It will be held on Saturday 11th September at the University of Birmingham Sports and Fitness centre. Not only will this be the first wrestling competition to be held after Covid, it is the first of its kind to ever be hosted in Birmingham for under 17s.

Prior to covid, SLAM wrestling competitions have been a huge success. Over the years, we have been delighted to be able to provide a platform for young wrestlers to showcase their skills. Our last competition was held in 2020 and saw more than 130 competitors. As before, our contenders are expected to travel from as far as Scotland and Ireland to compete, learn and network with other young wrestlers from different backgrounds.

Previously, our competition had the honour of having Waheed Nazir, Former Strategic Director-Birmingham City Council, present all wrestlers with a medal during a special ceremony. One of the elements that made our event a great success was the joining of a diverse mix of individuals. We had those of Pakistani, Indian, English, Eastern European and African Caribbean background all came together for the love of wrestling. It is vital that our communities witness and participate in events of this nature and see all different backgrounds come together and support each other.
