For those who are unfamiliar with wrestling, it is an exciting, action-packed sport that teaches young athletes a work ethic that will not only help them on the mat, but in the game of life as well. Many of the basic skills taught in wrestling are complimentary to other sports – especially football, baseball, soccer and lacrosse. Given that wrestling is a winter sport, it does not conflict with any other Fall or Spring sports other than basketball.
Vestavia Youth Wrestling in partnership with Stronghold Wrestling Club offers programing to grade school athletes seeking training and competition in the sport of wrestling. Folkstyle wrestling will be introduced, drilled, and wrestled throughout the Youth Season which begins in October and ends in February. Student athletes who enroll in this program will be introduced to basic and advanced wrestling techniques, positions, and philosophies.

Our Mission
It is the mission of Stronghold Wrestling to teach the art of wrestling in both national and international styles while mentoring the youth under our tutelage. Our mission exists in the knowledge that we will encourage and promote personal growth spiritually, physically, and emotionally through positive reinforcement of activities, which constantly challenge the spirit, body, and mind.
The sport of wrestling creates a unique platform for athletes to experience the personal challenges associated with one on one competition. The wrestlers encounter and grapple with those time-tested traits that form the character of a man. We believe it is essential to teach these principles as the foundation of success in the arena of competition thereby empowering our young wrestlers for the rest of their lives.
We pledges to promote, teach, encourage, and value:
Faith Humility Charity Responsibility Self-Reliance Integrity
Honesty Perseverance Resolve Enjoyment Respect Honor
Mental Toughness Focus Work Ethic Commitment Sportsmanship
