Great environment, great coaches. My son took his first class last night and it’s clear why everyone recommends SWA. If you want your child to build confidence and find that grit inside of them it takes to be a winner on and off the mat then bring them here! Thank you Coach Slate and all the other coaches for being patient and working with my son, he loved it!

Coach Slate is an EXCEPTIONAL wrestling coach! He goes the extra mile to make sure his wrestlers understand the “why” on his wrestling techniques! My son has taken away so much wrestling knowledge from every practice at SWA!

Great coaches! There are many kids of different age groups so there is someone for each kid to wrestle with. Coach Slate takes his times explaining everything and also demonstrates with the advanced kids who are always helpful.

Coach Ethan runs a great program here at SWA. Practices are fast paced and well organized. My son is new to wrestling, and Coach is patient while teaching proper technique but still holds him accountable if he gets lazy during drills.
