We coach Chicago youth to grapple with Life’s Challenges as they power their way to becoming Life Champions.
We welcome aspiring and seasoned wrestlers, girls and boys, aged 5 - 13. Our winter "IKWF" kids club is the largest in Illinois.
Programs for high school wrestlers during fall, spring and summer, prepare athletes to successfully compete with their high school teams during the IHSA winter season.
As the largest girls program in Illinois, we welcome girls aged 5 through 18. Youth wrestling is co-ed, but girls are paired with girls. Advanced youth and high school wrestlers train as a girls-only team.
Our signature 10-month Enrichment Program is designed to combine life skills with wrestling lessons. Bonus: life-long friendships are formed in this tight community of young people.
After-School Centers offer tutoring and homework help - as well as snacks and fun - in the time between when school gets out and wrestling practice begins. Available in select locations.
Week-long, half-day camps for wrestlers aged 5 - 13. Select locations also offer half-day STEAM camps, which combine learning, fun and field trips. Register for just one or multiple weeks.
