Golden Gate Wrestling Club is
open to anyone over the age of 5 with an interest in FreeStyle, GRECO, Scholastic, and Grappling.
This includes men and women at all skill levels. Height, weight, gender, race, age, disability, and
intelligence can be mixed in any proportion to produce good wrestlers — and good coaches!
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
Beginners are encouraged to join, and you are welcome to come just to watch.
Workouts are friendly and physical, grouped by size and skill level for safety.
High school wrestlers in San Francisco may join GGWC's
Alliance Wrestling Youth Program
to learn freestyle skills to enhance their Scholastic folkstyle wrestling.
Practices are held the SAME time for GGWC's ADULT and GGWC's Youth, however only the certified high school coaches
will coach the Alliance Wrestling group.
