Rogers Area Wrestling is a seven year old club dedicated to the sportsmanship and discipline of Folkstyle Wrestling.  We are a tight knit club of athletes, coaches, and families who want to see Rogers Area Wrestling become a name recognized for wrestling greatness.  We practice in a state of the art wrestling room at Rogers High School.  Our coaches are well respected and experienced enough to teach children of all ages the sport of wrestling.  We welcome children between Kindergarten and Eighth Grade of all sizes and experience.  We also welcome the help of any parent who thinks he can learn to coach the sport the way we want to teach it.  


We try to keep the schedule updated regularly.  Please pay attention to handouts during practice and directions from the head coach for changes that might not have been on the schedule.  

We will list tournaments that the coaches will be attending.  This list is subject to change at anytime.
