Notes

World Sport Chicago has partnered with Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Park District, Chicago Wrestling Coaches Association (CWCA), Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF) and other wrestling sport partners in the city of Chicago to help expand and enhance Public League Wrestling. Through targeted initiatives such as equipment grants, coaching clinics, and connecting clubs with resources at the national level, WSC aims to provide the Public League with similar opportunities as its suburban peers.

The program aims to increase access to mats and quality coaching to all who are interested, to increase Public League access to major tournaments, and to broaden the awareness and training in the International Olympic styles of wrestling within the Public League. Through these initiatives, World Sport Chicago hopes to provide opportunities to urban youth for academic scholarships and international competitions in the "world's oldest sport."
