Down to Referee

Our Down to Wrestle logo is starting to get noticed, and we couldn’t be prouder. More than just a design, it’s a symbol of confidence, strength, and inclusion. We encourage our young athletes to strike the same muscle pose, reinforcing not only physical empowerment but also self-belief. For our coaches, it’s become a simple yet powerful tool—when an athlete mimics the stance, it’s an opportunity to celebrate their effort, reinforce positive behavior, and remind them that they belong.

But at the University of Saskatchewan Huskie Dual, something incredible happened—our logo was everywhere. Not just on our own athletes and volunteers, but on referees, coaches, and leaders in the sport. Seeing Down to Wrestle represented at such a high level was an inspiring moment, proving that our message of confidence and inclusion is spreading far beyond our own practices.

As our program grows, so does the impact of our logo. It’s more than just a symbol—it’s a movement. Every time a young wrestler throws up that muscle pose, they’re showing the world that they are strong, capable, and ready to take on whatever comes next. And that’s exactly what Down to Wrestle is all about.
