River City Wrestling trains athletes in the Louisville, KY metropolitan area in the sport of folkstyle wrestling, the type of amateur wrestling practiced in high schools and universities in the United States. We offer two programs at different times of the year, and wrestlers are grouped by age, weight and experience. All practices are in the upstairs gym of Saint Xavier High School unless otherwise noted. See the calendar for specific dates.
Please bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate and completed USA Wrestling medical waiver to his or her first practice.
Our Folkstyle Program runs October to February and is available to wrestlers in 1st through 8th grade. The season concludes with the Youth (1st -4th grades) and Middle School (5th-8th grades) state tournaments.
Cost: $175 (1st child), $125 (2nd child), $75 (3rd child) Includes: Team shirt, paid entry into tournaments, USA Wrestling insurance (secondary insurance)
The current middle school weight classes, in pounds, are 70/75/80/86/92/98/105/113/121/130/140/152/168/190/230
Our Spring Program runs April through May and is available to wrestlers in grades K-12. It consists of a smaller group of wrestlers and is considered “off season” training. This is a good place for new wrestlers to begin and for experienced wrestlers to get extra training.
The Spring Program will have registration and begin practices immediately following Spring Break on Monday April 11, 2011 (6pm). Practices will be from 6:00 – 7:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Check back for more information soon.
The cost is $30 per wrestler plus the cost of your USA Wrestling membership card. Your child can register at the door, but he or she must purchase a USA Wrestling Card (click here, create an account and purchase your card) for insurance purposes before being allowed to practice. When creating an account with USA Wrestling, be sure to list River City Wrestling (in Kentucky) as your club.
