Mission Statement
Strong and Courageous was founded to help develop wrestlers to be competitive at the state and national level, and at the same time to use the club, camps, clinics and tournaments to reach kids with the gospel of Christ, in order to help young christians grow in faith.
Club History
In 1989, a wrestling club was formed at Edneyville High School as "Edneyville Freestyle Club" with one wrestler, James Short, then a high school freshman, and one coach, Norman Osteen. That club has grown into one of the most successful and the longest running wrestling club in the state of North Carolina. Having worked with over 3400 wrestlers, Strong & Courageous Wrestling Club has produced to date 102 National Champions and 490 All Americans from kids to veterans and all ages in between.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest." -Joshua 1:9
