Athletes kept on the mat since 2023
Scholarships here are funded by club sponsors and by families who chip in, and every dollar goes to keeping a kid wrestling. If your family needs to be the next one, ask.
What a scholarship covers
Awards are set by need. Tell us what your family can manage and we'll work from there.
Ask for one, the other, or both.
-
Up to full club dues
Some families need part of their monthly membership covered. Some need all of it. Both happen here.
-
USA Wrestling membership
The annual membership your athlete needs in order to practice and compete. Ask for this on its own if dues aren't the problem.
-
Anything else — just ask
Camps, clinics, tournament entries, gear. If something else is blocking your athlete, ask on the application and we'll tell you what's possible.
Your athlete can be on the mat this week
You don't have to wait on an application to get started. These are open to everyone, scholarship or not.
Your first 3 classes are free
Every paid program starts with three free classes, so your athlete can try practice before your family owes anything.
See the programsYou may just need a discount
We offer a U.S. Military Appreciation discount and a sibling discount. For some families, that closes the gap on its own.

Scholarship FAQ
The questions families ask us before they apply.
How much does a scholarship cover?
Awards are based on need and can cover up to your full monthly club dues and/or your athlete's USA Wrestling membership. Some families need part of their dues covered, some need all of it, and some only need help with the USA Wrestling membership. Tell us what your family needs and we'll work from there.
Do I have to send pay stubs or tax returns?
No. There's no income documentation required. The application asks about your family's situation in your own words, and that's enough for us to start the conversation.
Who sees my application?
Applications are confidential and reviewed by the club directors. They aren't shared with coaches or other families, and we don't announce who is on scholarship.
How long will it take to hear back?
We respond within one week of receiving your application. If we can't cover everything you asked for, we'll tell you what we can cover.
How long does an award last?
Awards run for the season and are reviewed periodically as funding and family circumstances change. If your situation changes before then, call or text the club and we'll work it out.
Can it help with camps, clinics, or gear?
Possibly. Dues and USA Wrestling membership come first, but other opportunities such as camps, clinics, tournament entries, and gear can be considered by request. Ask on the application.
What if funding runs out?
Awards depend on the funds available when we review an application, so we can't say yes to everyone. If we can't help right away we'll tell you, you're welcome to apply again, and free Sunday practice stays open to your athlete either way.
My child has never wrestled. Should we still apply?
Yes. Start with free Sunday CSRA Practice or your first 3 free classes so your athlete can try the sport, then apply whenever you're ready. You don't need experience to apply.
