About Us
 
We are an Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF) and USA Wrestling affiliated club for kids between the ages of 4 and 14 in Crystal Lake, Illinois, plus the surrounding school districts of McHenry, Lake in the Hills, Huntley, Lakewood, Prairie Grove, Richmond, and Harvard.  Our primary goal is to prepare young athletes to be good people and successful high school wrestlers. This includes academics as well as athletics. 
 
We are an IRS designated 501c(3) Charitable Organization and an Illinois based Not-For-Profit Corporation.  All of our coaches, board members, and committee chairs are volunteers, and all revenue generated from fundraising activities goes directly to offset the costs of running the club and to support the Prairie Ridge High School wrestling program. 
 
We are fully supported by the Prairie Ridge High School Wrestling coaching staff.  In addition to the high school coaches at our practice, Wolves Wrestling Club coaches have received the Bronze level of certification by USA Wrestling National Coaches Education Program.
 
Aside from having great wrestling credentials and strong community support, our club also prides itself in maintaining the highest level of integrity in all areas. 
 
The Wolves Wrestling Club is open to all wrestlers who share our goals.  Please explore our website to learn more.  You may also submit a request to be added to our mailing list by contacting any member of the Wolves Wrestling Club board of directors. 

The Wolves limit our club size to ensure a proper coach to wrestler ratio, and to accommodate everyone comfortably in our wrestling room. It is important to register early to ensure a spot on the team. The club has two groups:

Red Level - Younger wrestlers, or older wrestlers with less experience. These are wrestlers that are new to wrestling or have 1 year of prior experience. The red season runs from the beginning of November to the end of January. A red level wrestler may request to continue through to the end of the gray season based on their interest, our head coach's approval and payment of an additional $100. The registration fee for Red is $195. Payment and forms need to be submitted before you can practice. 

Gray Level - More experienced wrestlers. Typically wrestlers with 2 years or more of wrestling experience. If you have doubts, please register for the red level. Once practice starts, the coaching staff will evaluate all the wrestlers and make adjustments to their level as warranted. The Gray season runs through to the lKWF State Series, mid-March. The registration fee for Gray is $295. Payment and forms need to be submitted before you can practice. 

Families with multiple wrestlers will receive a discount of $50 per additional wrestler. Example: At the Gray level, first wrestler is $195, second wrestler $145 and third wrestler $145.

In addition to the registration fees, each wrestler is required to complete our annual fundraiser which will announced shortly in an email. This year we are doing a raffle with the same guidelines as last year. 

The registration for the Wolves includes a practice uniform (shirt & shorts), IKWF enrollment, use of team singlets and entry fees to all tournaments. Wrestlers must provide their own headgear and wrestling shoes. If you need shoes contact us to see if the club has some that will fit your wrestler(s). The shoes are free. 

If you wrestling for the first time we will need a copy of the wrestler's birth certificate (if this is your first year).




 
Our Guiding Principals
  • Provide a positive environment where young athletes learn key life lessons through wrestling.  These lessons include:

    - Setting goals and working hard to achieve those goals results in rewarding success
- Take personal accountability for ones actions and results

- Respect yourself

- Respect Authority

- Respect your teammates and opponents
 
  • Understanding that they are role models for young athletes, coaches and advisors will always act in a way that provides positive, wholesome examples to our wrestlers and opponents.
 
  • Provide an environment where young athletes can improve their wrestling skills in preparation to become High School wrestlers for Prairie Ridge or other High Schools in the McHenry, Lake in the Hills, Huntley, Lakewood, Prairie Grove, Richmond, or Harvard.

 

We will always remember Coach Mick Marchese!!!!
