Youth Club (K-6)
MYWA (Michigan Youth Wrestling Association) - K-6
Our mission is to develop student athletes who practice good sportsmanship, who are solid citizens inside and outside of the classroom, and who become competitive life long learners encompassing a hard working attitude in all they do.
The Utica Wrestling Club is a fun program for kids who want to learn or improve their wrestling skills. No wrestling experience is necessary. We believe wrestling is one of the greatest sports there is for helping young kids build character, develop self-confidence, improve self-discipline, and strengthen their will to succeed. We hope to give all of our wrestlers a solid foundation in the basics of wrestling, so as to prepare them for competition. Physically, wrestlers will increase their conditioning, balance, flexibility, strength and self-confidence. This makes wrestling one of the best things an active youth can do to improve overall athleticism. Most of all we want all wrestlers to have fun and enjoy what they are doing.
Next Level Attitude!
The ultimate goal is to prepare these young athletes for a successful high school career as a competitive athlete while setting high academic standards, who may have the desire to take their wrestling and education further.Â
Wrestling practices will occur twice a week starting at the beginning in November and go through end of March. Practices will be held in the Utica High School wrestling room.

our youth structure
Our philosophy strives to encourage a strong background in wrestling before moving into competition. However, All grade levels do have the option to compete in weekend tournaments through our governing body MYWA (Michigan Youth Wrestling Association), weekend tournaments are completely optional. K-5 grade aged kids should be learning the basics of body control, building strength, and wrestling movements. We start to shift to a competitive nature when athletes are of middle school age (6-8 grades). At this point we shift focus to being a MHSAA school based club team out of Eppler Junior High. They get a basis for competing in wrestling and also incorporate the team structure of wrestling competition. We want to see our athletes strive for competitive success as a high school wrestling TEAM!
