• Psychomotor - Wrestle4fun activities and assessments teach motor skills, and movement combinations in multiple settings to support physical competence and confidence.
• Cognitive - Wrestle4fun teaches participants to think strategically and make decisions as they learn what, when, and how to apply motor skills and movement combinations to diverse and appropriate settings.
• Affective - Wrestle4fun teaches and reinforces the United World Wrestling Values: integrity, passion and unity. It is designed to deepen participants’ appreciation of physical activity and, specifically, their appreciation of wrestling. Wrestle4fun is designed to enhance participants’ value of themselves and increase their understanding of the positive impact they can have on their local and global communities.
