Team History:
Our wrestling program was established here in Harlem in 2015. We have a youth team (3rd - 7th grade) and a high school team (8th - 12th grade). We welcome all boys and girls who live in the Appling / Harlem area to join the team. For insurance, wrestlers in 3rd - 8th grade will need an AAU card or a USA Wrestling Card. 6th - 12th grade wrestlers will need a physical as well. We currently have 85 wrestlers total in the program.
