Washington Wrestling Club

The Coaching Staff at the Washington Wrestling Youth Club teaches:

• safety
• fun
• sportsmanship
• team work
• discipline
• fundamental folkstyle wrestling skills to novice and intermediate level wrestlers.

The WWYC focuses, as much as possible, on small group or one on one tutorial coaching. Wrestlers are closely supervised.

Parent's Note: All coaches are required to agree to a background check and submit a detailed disclosure statement demonstrating their fitness to work with children.
