About us:

Building athletes first!

At Minooka Wrestling Club, we don’t just build wrestlers—we build athletes. Kids of all ages will learn more than takedowns and technique. Through our athletic development program, they will develop a sense of body literacy that will propel them in not just wrestling but any sport they choose to be a part of.

Our mission is simple: – by focusing on building athletes first – is to foster a lifelong love for the sport of wrestling by creating a positive, challenging, and fun environment for all ages and skill levels. We are committed to developing strong fundamentals, high-level technique, and a competitive spirit while emphasizing personal growth, discipline, and teamwork. As a proud feeder program for Minooka Community High School, we welcome all athletes and strive to build champions—on and off the mat.

We focus on high-quality wrestling, athletic development, and physical literacy—because being a great wrestler starts with being a great athlete. Our coaches are passionate, experienced, and lead by example.

Minooka Wrestling Club is more than a team—it’s a community. And once you’ve been on the mat with us, you’re part of it for life.
