Established in 2024, Wrightwood Wrestling is on a mission to take a rural community of determined youth and prepare them for the highest levels of competition. More than just a sport, wrestling at Wrightwood Wrestling represents a path to opportunity—whether it's earning college scholarships, excelling in the grappling industry, or even making it to the Olympic arena.

Our program is built on a unique foundation. Every wrestler trains with a strong base in Jiu Jitsu, giving them an unorthodox style that often provides a competitive edge. Yet, we never stray from professional standards—our coaches are USA Wrestling-certified and undergo continuous training to ensure our athletes are equipped with world-class skills.

We didn’t come here to take part. We came to take over.

Our Vision

At Wrightwood Wrestling, we aim to:

• Open College Opportunities: Wrestling is a college sport that offers scholarships. We’re committed to helping kids from our small tri-community achieve this dream.

• Prepare Future Champions: From grappling careers to Olympic aspirations, we lay the groundwork for excellence.

• Build Strong Character: Wrestling teaches grit, hard work, and resilience—qualities that transcend the mat and empower success in life.

Our ultimate goal? Develop competitive athletes and well-rounded individuals ready to tackle life’s challenges.
