Organization Seeks to Grow Female Wrestling in Nation’s Capital and Beyond
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Wrestle Like a Girl, an organization that empowers girls to become leaders in life through the sport of wrestling, is moving its headquarters to Washington, DC.
U.S. Army combat veteran Sally Roberts, a 3x National Champion and 2x World Bronze Medalist in women’s wrestling, launched the organization in 2016 to introduce the sport to more girls and young women, and to expand opportunities for their participation across the country.
“The benefits these girls and young women get out of wrestling are profound,” said Roberts. “Through wrestling, they learn where their self-confidence is; learn what resilience means; and learn about healthy choices both physically and mentally.”
Wrestle Like a Girl host camps and clinics for girls ages 5-18; supports the development of new high school wrestling programs and tournaments; and is working with organizations to bring women’s wrestling to the NCAA.
“Washington, DC is the perfect home for Wrestle Like a Girl,” said Roberts. “The nation’s capital is full of women leaders, and we’re an organization dedicated to inspiring young women to dig deep within themselves to become leaders both on and off the mat.”
Formerly based in Colorado Springs, Wrestle Like a Girl’s new DC headquarters is located in the District’s burgeoning NoMa neighborhood in the recently refurbished Uline Arena Building at 1140 Third Street, NE, 2nd Floor, Washington, DC 20002.
The building, best known as the Beatles first American venue, is home to over 30 startups, entrepreneurs, small businesses and nonprofits, including the Biden Cancer Initiative, Mia Learning and The Washington Center.
