Our club is a non-profit organization. We are based out of Shippensburg University, Heiges Field House’s Raider wrestling room. We are a USA Wrestling sanctioned club and compete in events through The Pennsylvania Amateur Wrestling Federation and USA Wrestling’s National events.

Club purpose: Promote wrestling for the benefit of our communities and the State of Pa. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for individuals to learn practice and compete in the International styles of wrestling. We provide off-season training to the athletes who wish to take their Folkstyle wrestling to the next level.

Why wrestle Freestyle and Greco Roman Wrestling: You will be instructed on techniques that will make you better in tough matches and give you an edge over the competition. Greco-Roman wrestling helps athletes become better upper-body wrestlers, and develops an ability to score big points under pressure. Greco strengthens a wrestler’s defense, and gives better mat awareness. Freestyle helps a wrestler open up their offense on the feet, wrestle in a more fluid manner, the ability to dominate in scramble positions, and have more confidence in your technique. An average of 70 percent of wrestlers on the podium at The PIAA State Tournament train and compete in Freestyle and Greco wrestling.
