About Us
Forest Lake Wrestling Club is a youth program built around fundamentals, character, and community. Our goal is to give every child a clear path to learn the sport, gain confidence, and enjoy healthy competition. Practices are structured and upbeat. We teach in short instruction blocks, run partner drills, and use simple games to reinforce good habits. We focus on stance, motion, level change, safe finishes, and basic top and bottom skills. Coaches keep cues consistent so wrestlers know exactly what to do and how to improve.
Families are at the center of our club. We welcome parent involvement, make communication clear, and provide guidance for gear, events, and next steps. New athletes can start at any time, and returning athletes can progress with age-appropriate goals. When competition is right, we support wrestlers with a balanced schedule and an emphasis on learning.
Our values are respect, effort, and sportsmanship. We want kids to leave practice feeling proud of their work and excited to come back. Wrestling builds discipline, resilience, and problem solving. Those lessons last well beyond the season. We are proud to serve the Forest Lake community and to be part of a strong tradition on the mat and in the classroom.
