Why Wrestle?

  • Wrestling is for everybody. You compete against people in your weight class. Because of this, size differences won’t happen. Anybody who is determined and works hard can find success - not necessarily the tallest, biggest or fastest.

  • You will be in the best shape of your life. We will do daily strength and conditioning and wrestling itself is a total body workout.

  • No blame. No excuses. In wrestling there is a winner and loser. No Dad or Coach can favor a player and give them more playing time or put them in key positions. Wrestling is all about you! You get to be your own hero and build self-confidence

  • You will compete. Whether you are first string or third string, you will not just stand on the sidelines. You will have opportunities to wrestle in matches and or tournaments.

  • Wrestling teaches life lessons better than any other sport. Resilience, mental toughness, physical ability, self-reflection, work ethic, discipline are all required to be succesful at wrestling.
