The Arlington Wrestling Club (AWC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides free and affordable wrestling opportunities for youth and high school athletes across Arlington County. Our mission is to make wrestling accessible to every student — regardless of financial background — while teaching discipline, confidence, and resilience through sport.

Why Your Support Matters

In just a few short years, AWC has:

• Helped nine athletes compete at the national level
• Supported travel and lodging for the VAWA State Tournament
• Partnered with Arlington Public Schools to expand access
• Maintained an active USA Wrestling charter
• Laid the groundwork for future growth — including youth and travel programs, college recruitment guidance, and a Regional Training Center

Now, we’re working to expand our programs by adding:

• Free Friday practices for all Arlington wrestlers
• Youth sessions (Mondays) introducing K–8 athletes to wrestling
• Advanced clinician nights (Wednesdays) with top regional coaches
• A travel club and recruitment support for athletes pursuing college opportunities
• A permanent training space and tournament equipment to grow our events and fundraising capacity
