Our Gladiator Wrestling Program was established in 1988 and is currently one of the largest USA Wrestling Connecticut sanctioned programs in the state! Open to boys and girls in grades K-12, we have opportunities to wrestle year-round. We have wrestlers and coaches from towns including Bristol, Terryville, Burlington, Plainville, Avon, New Hartford, Wolcott, Woodbury and others. We’ve had wrestlers travel to several different states to compete and we also have many Gladiator alumni who wrestle in college that our team supports. Our volunteer coaches all have plenty of wrestling experience as well as a passion for the sport and are guaranteed to give your child a quality athletic experience!

Winter Travel Team
Our Winter Travel Team is currently broken into two groups:
Junior Gladiators (K-4) practice two nights a week.
Senior Gladiators (5-8) practice three nights a week.
Our travel teams compete in tournaments which are mostly on Sunday. The fee for this program is usually around $180 (includes a Boys & Girls Club membership). This includes warm-ups and entry into tournaments. Purchasing a USA wrestling membership will also be required to compete in tournaments.
Summer Open Mats
During the off-season time we usually have some form of open mat going on at least for high school kids. These open mats are free to wrestlers with a Boys & Girls Club membership. See our social media accounts for schedules, ages, cancellations, etc.
To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
