Berlin has long enjoyed a strong wrestling program at the High School and Middle School levels. The Berlin Parks and Recreation Department sponsored the Berlin Youth Wrestling until 2004-05. The club as of the 2005-2006 season became a full member of USA Wrestling Connecticut. Currently we have a record 82 registered for the 2009-10 season. Currently we have wrestlers come from Berlin, New Britain and Newington. We have also had members from Rocky Hill in the past.
This program was started to expand the interest to wrestling to the younger boys and girls who live in Berlin, CT. Over the year's many people have been involved and helped the program get to where it is today. We are open to boys & girls in grades K to 8.
In 2001-02 we have reached a new record for participants. We finished the season with a total of 44 youth. Our 2004-05 team stood at 38 wrestlers. The 3rd and 4th graders were crowned Champions at the Marshwood New England Kids Championships in 2005. 2005-06 our roster consisted of 37 young athletes wrestling. 2007-08 we had record 62 wrestler's in the program. Last year we had a record 67 wrestler's registered for the 2008-09.
We practice Monday and Tuesday evenings at the Old Knights of Columbus Hall. Our matches are usually scheduled for Friday evenings. If you are interested in arranging a match contact Coach Moss via e-mail.
In 2008-09 we had the beginners and younger wrestlers practice from 5:30-6:30 PM the advanced and older wrestlers practice from 6:30-7:30 PM, Tournament Team 6:15 to 8 PM on Mondays and Tuesdays. Fridays will be practice for the advanced and tournament team from 5:30-7:00 PM until we have matches. The purpose of our program is to teach the fundamentals in wrestling while having fun. We are looking to change the schedule for the 2009-10 season to better serve the large number of participates we anticipate registering.
