Brentwood Co-op:
A few years back, Baldwin-Whitehall School District and Brentwood School District adopted a wrestling cooperation agreement. This
agreement allows Brentwood Middle School and High School wrestlers (boys and girls) to join the Baldwin team in the PIAA. For
the past 3 years, Brentwood athletes have competed alongside Baldwin athletes, together setting school records along the way.

Booster Program:
Baldwin Whitehall Youth Wrestling Association is the booster program for youth wrestling through High School in our district. The
fundraising we do provides the funds necessary to buy extra equipment and provide additional wrestling opportunities for all
levels of wrestling throughout the district.
Who can be a wrestler?
All 9th through 12th grade students (boys and girls) who attend the Baldwin-Whitehall School District or
Brentwood School District. Wrestling is a relatively safe contact sport and is excellent for students of all shapes and sizes; however,
due its physical nature it may not be suitable for everyone.
What equipment is needed?
All wrestlers are required to wear wrestling shoes, shorts, and a t-shirt for practice. Shoes, headgear
(ear protection) and a singlet are required for matches. A competition singlet will be provided by the School District; however,
wrestlers are required to purchase their own shoes.
Students interested in wrestling should contact Mr. Bilbie at [email protected] or Jerry Klodowski at [email protected].
