Johnston Wrestling Club was created to promote interest in the sport of wrestling.  Our goal is to educate and develop competitive wrestlers in grades K-8. Club participants develop fundamentals of wrestling, good sportsmanship, honesty and respect for their coaches and fellow teammates.

• Positive and encouraging atmosphere, while at the same time instilling the discipline necessary to become successful in wrestling. We will challenge our wrestlers both physically and mentally, building confidence through accomplishing hard things and learning how to push outside of their comfort zone.

• Wrestling should be fun. But winning is a lot more fun than losing, so we teach what it takes to win.
• Focus on the whole wrestler and living a successful lifestyle that transcends wrestling. Creating wrestlers, not just teaching wrestling.
  
• Treat each child as an individual – Tailored to individual styles, strengths and weaknesses as much as possible. Create a systematic progression and training plan.
