About us

Mentor Youth Wrestling Club (MYWC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and challenging wrestling experience for kids of all backgrounds. Our goal is to help young athletes build valuable life skills — like leadership, discipline, sportsmanship, and community pride — that will benefit them far beyond the mat.

Through the sport of wrestling, every participant has the chance to grow stronger, both physically and mentally, and develop skills that will serve them for life.

Did you hear about wrestling from a friend or neighbor and want to learn more?

Wrestling is both an individual and team sport that offers a positive environment for kids to stay active, learn new skills, and have fun.

Don’t worry if your child has never wrestled before — most of our kids are new to the sport too! Many only started within the last year or two, and every season we welcome even more beginners. No experience? No problem — your child won’t be at a disadvantage.

Come see what makes our wrestling family so special!

• Wrestlers can choose to participate in all-star matches when they feel ready.
