About Us
We are an Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF)
and USA Wrestling affiliated club for kids between the ages of 5 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. Our head coach Tony Piotrowski is a
former IHSA Class AA State Champion wrestler (1984, Wauconda HS, 119
lbs.). Coach Piotrowski also wrestled NCAA Division I for the Northern
Illinois University Huskies. Coach Piotrowski is not the only
experienced wrestler on our coaching staff. Coaches Sfire, Marchese,
and Hoy all wrestled at the collegiate level before bringing their years
of experience to coach here at the Wolves WC. 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.
