Mission Statement

Across the state, parents and volunteers organize local USAW/TWF sanctioned clubs to responsibly foster, train, and develop young wrestlers to achieve their full human and athletic potential. USA wrestling's off-season amateur mat programs, have long been the foundation on which highly successful high school wrestling teams are built. In them, fledgling wrestlers of all ages have the opportunity to improve their skills and physical condition during the spring and summer months.

Statewide, club activities include the coaching and training of boys and girls in a safe environment, while providing access to wrestling mats, practice sites, and competition. We educate children in the areas of health and nutrition, while providing an overall fitness program for the members. The competitive divisions by age and weight groups provide for the smallest or largest, shortest or tallest kids to participate and even physically handicapped kids can and do compete successfully. We sponsor and facilitate travelling youth teams to regional, national and international competitive events.
