Step 2
Learn the basic rules of pee wee wrestling. Point scoring is the key rule. Know that a takedown, near fall and reversal are worth two points, and an escape is worth one. While they are illegal, holds will cost you one or two points.

Step 3
Experiment with how a pee wee wrestling match works. A wrestling match is a unique one-on-one competition that looks generally confusing without this knowledge. Practice with a partner by having both pee wee wrestlers starting on their feet facing each other. Practice also by having one start on his hands and knees with the other wrestler behind.

Develop a takedown strategy. Taking an opponent to the mat is the quickest way to score points and a very big part of gaining an advantage over the other wrestler. Keep close to your opponent and shoot for his legs, which will knock him off balance to begin.

Step 5
Practice playing defense to avoid being scored on. Pee wee wrestlers need to know that they cannot win a match simply by trying to score points. Keep your distance and tie up your opponent’s upper body, when he tries to take you down.
