Wrestle Like a Girl is a non-profit founded by Olympic wrestler Sally Roberts, focused on empowering girls and women through increasing opportunities in female wrestling.[1]

History

Wrestle Like a Girl was originally founded in Colorado by Sally Roberts to provide resources for women seeking to wrestle in college. Roberts was a three-time U.S. National Champion, two-time World bronze medal winner, and a veteran of the War in Afghanistan.[3][2]

Advocacy

Wrestle Like a Girl has petitioned the NCAA to accept female wrestling as a sanctioned college sport. The organization argues that being an NCAA sport would allow female wrestlers to receive scholarships, health insurance, and other benefits currently only available to male wrestlers.[3]

Events

Wrestle Like a Girl directs wrestling camps for girls aged 5 to 18.[2] In 2018, WLAG partnered with UFC fighters Jessica-Rose Clark and Gina Mazany to host a wrestling clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada.[4]
