Memberships & Programs For All Skill Levels
Kingston and Area Olympic Wrestling Club Programs
All of our programs can be tailored to the competitive or recreational athlete.
About Our Programs
Our program is designed for both the Competitive and Non Competitive athlete. Our coaching staff reserves the right to make the final decision on whether an athlete is able to compete in tournaments based on physical preparedness and attendance at our training sessions. Please look at the program descriptions below to see which program best suits you/your child.

What does it mean to be a Recreational vs. Competitive Athlete?
Our coaching staff reserves the right to
make the final decision on whether an athlete is able to compete based on physical preparedness
and attendance in our training sessions. Please also keep in mind that although competition is
our goal, it is not mandatory. Athletes that are interested in learning basic wrestling skills,
getting into better physical shape, and training with the team are more than welcome to
participate.
The difference between membership types is commitment and intent. Both memberships offer
the same access to all the local training, competitions and camps. Competitive members will
have access to more travel, higher level of competitions and pre/post season opportunities.
