Free Intro to Wrestling Clinic
We will be holding a free "Intro to Wrestling" clinic on October 7th from 6:30-8pm at Madison HS. It is great for families considering the sport. Learn about the sport and the Firebirds, practice some basics, and have FUN! Invite your friends and other families to try wrestling.

The regular season is from November through Frebruary, focusing on Folkstyle wrestling, the dominant style of wrestling in the US and practiced in schools. Registration begins in early Fall.

During school breaks, especially Summer, there are a couple Vienna groups that run youth wrestling camps. Check their pages through out the year for updated schedules. Keep an eye on their pages for updates. We also try to send a heads up to our email list when camp info becomes available.

About the Club
Our goal is to teach and encourage a love for the sport of wrestling - the oldest sport in the world. Wrestling teaches a mental and physical discipline unlike any other sport and establishes character traits and skills that are applicable to all aspects of life and which extend well beyond the years spent on the wrestling mat.
