Tar Heel Kid's Wrestling Club Returns for the Fall Season

The Tar Heel Wrestling Kid's Club is back on the mat this August, welcoming both new and returning wrestlers for another season of learning, competing, and growing through the sport of wrestling.

Held inside the UNC Wrestling Room on the campus of the University of North Carolina, the THWKC provides world-class instruction in a positive, age-appropriate environment where athletes develop sound fundamentals, confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic. The program is designed for everyone from first-time wrestlers to experienced youth competitors looking to sharpen their skills. 

"Our goal is to create an environment where every child can build confidence, develop discipline, and learn the value of hard work while having fun. Whether a wrestler is stepping on the mat for the first time or preparing for a competitive season, we want them to leave every practice better than when they walked in—not just as athletes, but as people. We're excited to welcome everyone back and can't wait to get another great season started." said Brian Tucker, Director of the Kid's Club.

The fall program begins Tuesday, August 18, with practices held every Tuesday and Thursday.

As a USA Wrestling Chartered Club and the official U.S. Olympic Regional Training Center for North Carolina, the Tar Heel Wrestling Club offers young athletes the opportunity to train in the same environment that has helped develop national team members, world medalists, and Olympians. 

Whether your child is stepping onto the mat for the very first time or preparing for the upcoming competition season, the Tar Heel Kids Wrestling Club provides expert coaching, a supportive team atmosphere, and a clear pathway for long-term development.
