Why does BASED have the Dingoes?
The Dingoes is an initiative to support young wrestlers who show potential to be leaders in their sport. This is a form of sponsorship that promotes the BASED program and the sport of wrestling in the wider community.
Participants are expected to show a passion and dedication to their sport not just locally but at all levels. Young people and their families are provided with support to help them gain experience at a variety of levels, maintain their health and fitness and to develop a future in the sport (whatever role they choose to pursue)
From an organisational view BASED is looking for the next generation of young people who will guide and grow this sport for those that come after. BASED was originally created by a 12 year old! Since that time it has created new opportunities for grapplers of all ages. What could the next generation bring to their peers or those who come after?
Wrestling is not just a sport for old men! It is a game everyone can play!
