Welcome Back Coaches and
Potential New Coaches!
We know the success to this program comes from the parents and the Coaches who provide the encouragement, push, and excitement with each child. As it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to develop a wrestler. If you have time and the excitement for this sport we would be interested in having you join our team. Please contact
Chris Berube (Director) for more information at (860-371-7882) or email through the "Contact Us" page.

-
Coaches Card - through USA Wrestling (bring copy of receipt to wrestling practice for reimbursement - sign up for 2 years if you plan on helping out for additional year)
