Dave coached my eldest son in high school and now does the same for my 9 year old. Obviously, due to his established background he is extremely knowledgeable about the sport. But more importantly, he connects to the kids. He is great with them, at all levels. He also hires staff with a like mindset. They are supportive, encouraging, and provide the best learning environment for wrestling. We are lucky to have found a home! I would highly recommend his club!

Truly no other place like Cordoba Trained Wrestling! I highly recommend this facility and program offerings for kids of all ages, but most especially their GIRLS program! Coach Dave and Misty go above and beyond to grow their Girls program and we couldn’t have found a better wrestling family.

My son has been training here for the past 4 years. There are wrestling clubs popping up all over NJ, and it's hard to decide which one to enroll in. I can honestly say, Cordoba Trained is the best. Whether your child is brand new to wrestling or a high level wrestler looking to reach that next level, Cordoba Trained has something for everyone. Dave and his coaching staff genuinely care for each and every wrestler that steps ion the mat. Building character and hard work ethics through the sport of wrestling is what Cordoba is all about.

As a parent of four children (ages 11, 8, 5, and 2), my three oldest who are all wrestling at different levels, I can confidently say that Cordoba Trained Wrestling has been an incredible experience for our family. In just a short period of time, each of my kids has grown tremendously, not only in their wrestling skills, but also in confidence, discipline, and determination. My 8-year-old daughter, who has wrestled for less than a year, has made huge strides thanks to the focused coaching and supportive environment. My 11-year-old son had only wrestled in our town’s rec program before, but since joining the club, his skills, understanding of the sport, and competitive mindset have advanced beyond what I could have imagined. Even my 5-year-old has been learning fundamentals in a way that keeps it fun and engaging, while still building a strong foundation. The coaching staff, Coach Dave, Coach Mike, Coach Will, and the rest of the team deserve so much credit. They bring an exceptional balance of technical expertise, patience, and motivation to every practice. They know how to push the kids to improve while making sure they feel encouraged and supported. If you’re a parent looking for a place where your child can learn the sport of wrestling in a positive, skill-focused, and family-friendly environment, I highly recommend Cordoba Trained Wrestling.
