Athlos Wrestling
Growing lifelong athletes with characteristics of champions for life – in the Mind, Body & Spirit.
ATHLOS WRESTLING CLUB
We are pumped to invite everyone to our club this year! Last year was a great success & we are looking to continue growing opportunities for our youth.
Vision
Athlos wrestling forges lifelong athletes with character traits of a champion on and off the mat. We foster a spirit tempered with resilience, confidence, humility, creativity, and coachability. We teach them to refine the lifelong skill of learning and self-development, because winning in life is of utmost importance. However, we define winning as maintaining the character traits of a champion to victory in life, despite temporary victory or defeat. Winning is not the temporary hand raise, even after a championship match. Winning is the way in which we proceed, lead, and succeed despite temporary outcomes. Wrestling provides us the fires in which we effectively forge, refine, and temper these traits into the next generation of young men and women to be effective leaders in tomorrow’s society. These traits will be burned into their minds, their bodies, and their spirits. This is our vision. This is our greatest legacy.

Financial Investment
Why the required investment?
Coaches and volunteers for Athlos wrestling are making a commitment to help your young wrestlers grow as individuals. This is about more than just wrestling, and we are committed to giving you and your wrestlers the best we have to offer. This is not a babysitting service, and we expect the best you and your wrestlers have to offer in return. By making a financial investment, you will be more committed to the process and to the season.
We pay our coaches, and we pay for the facility that we use in order to provide you and your athlete with the best possible experience.
We aim to run our program with excellence, complete with a world-class technique curriculum taken from the nation’s and world’s best wrestlers, unified coaching, and personal development for your athlete and family.
You cannot get this kind of quality in life, for anything, for free. It requires an investment.
What is the investment?
- Monthly: $90 per wrestler
- If you have more than one wrestler in your family, for which you are financially responsible, it will be $75 per additional wrestler.
- If you are traveling from more than 30 miles one way for practice, your monthly amount is $80 per wrestler and $70 per additional wrestler for which you are financially responsible. (This is to make it easier for those who have to pay more for fuel and are more likely to miss some practices due to the weather.)
- There is no change in the monthly fee for “shorter” months with holidays.
- Each wrestler is required to have a team singlet for the folkstyle season, and it is the family’s responsibility to purchase one.
- Tournaments and travel (Parents are responsible for all tournament fees and traveling expenses.)
- The investment will be made monthly through an automatic payment. This payment can be cancelled at any time.
- There will be absolutely no refunds.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Available sponsorship opportunities?
If the investment above is more than your budget allows, and you remain committed to the process, we will help you find sponsorship opportunities to help your wrestler participate, travel, and compete. We do not want financial hardships interfering with your wrestler’s ability to participate and grow as an individual.
The Athlos Foundation is one option for raising money. Your athlete can apply for a 50% scholarship from the Foundation.
Other sponsors can sponsor an athlete for 100% through our foundation, allowing the sponsor to receive the tax benefit of donating to a nonprofit.
