Is wrestling worth it?
Why should your kid try wrestling?
Wrestling boosts strength, will-power, endurance, agility and over all athletic prowess; wrestling complements many sports like football, martial arts, soccer, lacrosse, gymnastics, swimming, etc.
What sets wrestling apart from other sports - you determine your own outcome. That outcome boils down to three things: Passion, Grit, and Practice.
FWC combines experience with encouragement to guide our wrestlers to be successful on and off the mat.
