The Newton Elementary Wrestling is a competitive wrestling program that strives to do everything possible to enable our wrestlers to have a safe and enjoyable experience while learning the sport of wrestling.
The Newton Elementary Wrestling program is a youth program based at Newton High School in Newton, NJ. We typically have between 40-75 boys and girls, whom live in the sending districts of Newton, Andover and Green Twp. Our team wrestles it's home matches at the Merriam Ave. School and practices are held at the Newton High School wrestling room. We wrestle in the Sussex County Mat Club League and the New Jersey Grade School League while also participating in Varsity Team, JV/Novice and Open tournaments, including the USA Wrestling NJ State Championship Tournaments. We have approximately 15 active and participating coaches in our program, which ensures that all wrestlers receive quality supervision and instruction. We divide the wrestlers into 3 groups based on age and experience. The Varsity and JV are grades 2nd-8th and the Clinic is grades K-1st.

The program is funded by the Newton Board of Education which allows us to have no registration fee. We are also supported by the sending Districts of Newton, Andover and Green Township and the Newton Elementary Wrestling Booster Club.

Please note that the Tournaments added to the News Page are meant to be helpful for those that wish to attend and are not necessarily events sponsored, supported, or coached by the Newton Elementary Wrestling program. Only Events that are on the schedule pages are official Newton Elementary Wrestling events. If coaches will be at tournaments, to help coach Newton wrestlers, it will be noted clearly in the tournament announcement.
