Washington Wrestling Club

The Washington Wrestling Youth Club (WWYC) is a USA Wrestling certified club located at St. Albans School in Washington, DC. It was founded to teach young men and women from ages 6-13 the fundamentals of folkstyle wrestling in a safe and fun environment. We believe youth wrestling will help your child develop balance, strength, flexibility, stamina and self confidence.

As your children grow, the lessons they learn from wrestling will serve them well in any environment, academic, athletic or social, as they mature into young men and women.

No experience is required! All are welcome!
