Gangs are a constant threat to the positive development of youth in the inner city. Warriors Wrestling uses the sport to build relationships between at-risk youth and caring role models. Participation is free to qualified families. Coaches and volunteers work to remove every obstacle that keeps under privileged youth from being able to participate in positive programs. Transportation is provided to practices and tournaments, and nutritious food is served at every function. At practices and tournaments, coaches actively mentor youth. Character First materials are used in practices, and informal conversations between athletes and coaches help youth develop positive character. Warriors also benefit from the other programs of the OKC Dream Center.
