ABOUT US

Our Commitment To Excellence

Our mission goes beyond winning. We're committed to developing athletes holistically—as both competitors and individuals—by supporting our wrestlers at all scheduled tournaments. We participate in USA sanctioned tournaments and CVYWA sanctioned tournaments.

We build character first, then athleticism from the ground up. Our program emphasizes integrity, perseverance, respect, and teamwork alongside wrestling techniques, prioritizing foundational body control so kids can safely and confidently execute moves.

Who is wrestling for?

Open to all

We strive to provide a safe, inclusive environment where every person, regardless of skill level, gender, race, ethnic background, religious beliefs, sexual preferences or physical abilities will be accepted and appreciated. Wrestling is fun, but it is also a difficult sport; any person willing to come to practice and do the work will earn, and be shown, the proper respect. We are excited to welcome all to our community.

Is wrestling worth it?

Why should your kid try wrestling?

There are a lot of activities your kid could be doing, so why would you bother with wrestling? Here's a few reasons we think your child can benefit from wrestling:

It builds self-confidence

It creates lifelong friendships
It's an individual sport with team support
