Please scroll down for various parent and tournament registrations. And explore the tabs at the top for information about our teams, coaches, events and the great sport of wrestling.

We are still working out the details of our upcoming winter season of youth wrestling for grades K-6.  Please check back here once you see the lawn signs posted around town (in early October) indicating that registration is open.  

2023-2024 Youth Wrestling - Junior Warriors

Our youth wrestling season will start on Tuesday, December 5th and continue every Tuesday and Thursday until March 9th.  This program is for boys and girls of all experience levels in grades K-6. 

All practices will be held at the Curby Training Center in Troy.  Each practice will be with Joe Uccellini and Lenny Baker.  Coach Uccellini is the Team USA U15 National Coach and the 2022 Masters Greco Roman Nation Champion.  Coach Baker is an NCAA National Champion from Brockport University. 

Practices will run from 5 PM to 6 PM. The kids will be divided by grade into two separate groups, grades K-2 and grades 3-6. Practice will focus on two areas: wrestling technique and wrestling fitness. 

Optional Competitions:  During the season there will be several Saturdays where your wrestler will have the opportunity to apply the skills they have learned.  These will be “Friendly” tournaments held at the Curby Training Center.  These are fun events without the stress and intensity of a typical youth tournament.  The optional competitions are held on various Saturdays during the season and will be announced once the season starts. These events are optional and typically cost $10 per event.  

The cost for this season will be $300.  This includes the facility use fees, USA Wrestling insurance cards for each wrestler, coach licensing and background check fees and a custom-sublimated shirt with each wrestler’s name on the back.  Altogether there will be 28 individual instruction sessions plus the optional competitions that a coach will attend. 

Discounts are given for multiple family members (50% off for any additional family members).  If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please reach out to Jamie Hanlon (518-258-0019). 

The season ends with an exciting youth tournament held at Averill Park High School.  This year our tournament, called the “Interstate Youth Wrestling Challenge,” will be held on Saturday, March 9th.   That same day we also host an Open/Old-Timers tournament, so if any of you want to dust off the old wrestling shoes and compete, have at it!  The following day is our high school Freestyle & Greco Roman Tournament.  The tournament weekend is one of our biggest fundraisers and we will need your help to volunteer your time.  As the event approaches, we will be reaching out for any help you can provide.
