Parents, there are multiple middle school "State" tournaments. The first one coming up January 15th is the one where any kid can enter regardless of their team affiliation. For kids in Kyrene, you can NOT enter as a representative of your school and you can NOT wear your school singlet. You CAN however, enter as a representative of a club or just "unattached". This tournament is at Perry High School. I'll post the link to the trackwrestling.com page for more information. I'd love to see all of our AWC middle schooler's jump in on this one and make a strong showing. https://www.trackwrestling.com/opentournaments/MainFrame.jsp?newSession=false&TIM=1641272140829&pageName=ViewerInformation.jsp%3FTIM%3D1641272141592%26twSessionId%3Dzgwadxorgv&twSessionId=zgwadxorgv

Especially for our new kids and middle schoolers, the natural instinct when a guy gets heavy on your head is to back away or try to pull your head up. As usual, Coach Kolat has some simple yet essential instruction for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdQPBKnEPBY

Great day of wrestling!!!

Some of these kids have been practicing together for up to three years in club wrestling and now are finally competing against each other for rival Ahwatukee schools, only to then go back to practice together again at AWC. This really is a great community and a great sport that continues to bring people together. With no middle school season last year, this photo has been a long time coming, and it was a blast to see it finally come together tonight!

Great Monday Night Practice at the club tonight! Come see why we are more than wrestling!!!

Great day yesterday at CTW “Stomping Grounds” tourney. Great job by all the AWC wrestlers and thankful for Chagolla Trained Wrestling and all those who helped put on a great tournament for our wrestlers…

WE ARE BACK!

Wrestlers, coaches, and parents please help spread the word by sharing this post that the Arizona Junior High State Wrestling Championships WILL RESUME on January 28th and 29th 2022!

With that being said, we need coaches from all teams to contact us immediately at [email protected] to confirm their school will be attending this year's tournament. We need to ensure asap we have the minimum number of teams needed to lock in this venue.

Hey AWC families. We will be placing our first order for AWC gear at the end of this week.(Friday 9/24/21) Please bring filled out form and cash to practice this week.

We will be taking orders for the next two weeks for all of your AWC gear. Get your wrestler ready for this upcoming season with some new singlets, shorts, tops , or sweaters. Dm us for any questions.

Great morning of wrestling!!!

More big news!!! The TrackWrestling archive is finally available for folks with FloPro! So if you are awake at 3am and want to watch matches which were only available with a Track membership like RBY vs. Jason Holmes in the state finals, you can now browse years worth of matches on track wrestling, so if I seem sleepy at practice, its probably because I've been watching a giant backlog of matches I didn't get to see over the last decade.

Great morning of wrestling over at Chagolla Trained Wrestling at Cortez High School! Thanks to all the coaches who helped out and thanks to the Chagolla crew for helping our kids get some Saturday morning scraps in! Nobody won any state titles this morning. Nobody went undefeated. Everybody improved. AZ is moving up and this is part of the process!
