Fostering positive youth development through tactical-technical participation in the sport of wrestling.
The Best 10-year-old isn’t always the best 8th grader. The best 8th grader isn’t always the best senior in high school. Quite often the kids people say “aren’t so good” become the best athletes… It’s called DEVELOPMENT. Remember, it’s not how you start. It’s how you finish!
Area wrestlers will develop tactical-technical wrestling abilities and exhibit our values of respecting others, giving best efforts, being self-directed and setting goals, and helping others as productive members of society (i.e., being personally and socially responsible individuals).
Mission: The Kinzua Wrestling Club is a 501 c(3) organization that exists to establish, maintain, and operate programs, facilities, and other services that foster personal and social responsibility in a positive youth development setting for children, adolescents, and young adults through tactical-technical participation in the sport of wrestling.
