WELCOME to the home page of the 2008-2009 Irish Cadets Wrestling Club. We are an organization dedicated to give as many local grade school  kids the opportunity to wrestle.The Irish  Cadets  serve the grade schools of  Mazon, Milton Pope, Seneca and Marseilles. It is are goal to introduce boys and girls in grades K - 8th to the sport of wrestling. We are a chartered club of the ILLINOIS KIDS WRESTLING FEDERATION(IKWF),that travels to the very far southwestern suburbs of Chicago. The IRISH CADETS have seen the number of wrestlers double in size to proudly say we have over 45 plus kids now wrestling, and continue to see that number grow. Boys and girls will wrestle  by age and weight. Age groups include 6&under,7-8,9-10,11-12, 13-14. Typically the club operates out of the Senca High School(circuit breaker)location. The club tries to break wrestlers into two groups: beginners  9 and under in one room and experienced wrestlers 9 and over in another.Practices are Tues & Thurs 5:30-7:30  

   Tournaments are usually always on Sundays and are OPTIONAL.  Kids will win awards at nearly every tournament we enter. Entry fees at tournaments are around $8-15. Practice starts the first week in November and runs through Feb with reginals, sectionals and state finishing season off in March. Tournament  begin at the beginning of December. ANY  questions please email John Tezak, tezakjr@mtco.net . Please remember this is not the WWF, in our club we strive to teach kids the skills, tactics and sportsmanship required to make them better wrestlers, a better team and better individuals. Our clubs goal is to help develope young wrestlers into role models on and off the mat. Finally, together we can have a sucsessful year with the combined efforts and commitment of our WRESTLERS, COACHES,and PARENTS. 

Thank You for visiting. Irish Cadet Staff
