our teams
Wrestling may be an individual sport, but the bonds formed within a team are invaluable. Being part of a wrestling team teaches young athletes the essence of unity, cooperation, and collective support. It encourages them to celebrate not only their personal victories but also the successes of their teammates.
We make the road to the top fun
The Eagle Wrestling Club is not just about grappling on the mat; it's a transformative experience designed to instill a love for the sport, teach essential life skills, and create a strong sense of camaraderie. We believe that wrestling is not just a sport; it's a journey of self-discovery, commitment, teamwork, and most importantly, fun!

Proper preparation for wrestling practice is important to the success of your wrestler and the team. Please come to practice dressed in athletic gear, prepared with wrestling shoes, headgear, and water. Optional items: kneepads, sweatshirt and sweatpants, extra socks, mouthguard, hand sanitizer.
What to expect
Our coaches and teams expect each wrestler to give 100% during practice. This means showing up early, working hard, following directions and giving your all on the mat. Parents may view practice, but are encouraged to give athletes the space they need to succeed. Practice will include warm up exercises, technical practice and grappling.
code of conduct
We require all participants of the EWC and their families to treat all coaches, officials, wrestlers and spectators with dignity and respect. Furthermore, all involved must provide the highest level of care for all equipment and facilities provided by McDonogh School and the EWC. Disrespectful and destructive behavior will not be tolerated and will result in the immediate removal from McDonogh School's campus and the Eagle Wrestling Club.
What's to gain?
Wrestling will positively impact your child by instilling invaluable qualities like self-confidence, perseverance, and strong work ethic, setting them on a path to success both on and off the mat. Participating in youth wrestling offers numerous benefits, including improved physical fitness, enhanced mental discipline, and the development of lifelong friendships within a supportive and dedicated community.
