Pre-K through 5th grade

Youth wrestling starts here.

One form for the whole family, one or two evenings a week, depending on grade, and a room full of Wildcats. Fees, practice times and everything a first-year family needs.

Two steps, in this order

How registration works.

Two steps, and you can do them both in about five minutes. Register and pay the club here, then finish the USA Wrestling membership on the page we send you to. Every wrestler needs both.

  1. Register and pay the program fee here

    One form for the whole family. Add every wrestler, pick their grade, and pay once ... program fees are capped at $200 per family on a single registration.

  2. Finish the USA Wrestling membership

    As soon as you have paid we send you straight to our club's own page at USA Wrestling. Buy the Athlete Membership there ... it carries the insurance and the eligibility ... and your wrestler joins the River Falls Wrestling Club roster the moment you submit it. Nothing to approve, nothing to wait for.

Practice location

All practices are held in the River Falls High School wrestling room. Use the back entrance closest to the football and soccer fields.

Step two

Purchase your USA card.

Every wrestler also needs a USA Wrestling Athlete Membership. It is USA Wrestling's own product, not ours ... it covers the insurance and makes your child eligible for sanctioned events, and it is valid through August 31. We cannot buy it for you, so the button below opens our club's own registration page at USA Wrestling.

What’s included

  • Secondary sports accident insurance and supplemental benefits for non-sanctioned events, covering your child at practice and in competition
  • A one-year subscription to USA Wrestler magazine
  • Access to every USA Wrestling-sanctioned event, camp, clinic and club program nationwide

How to purchase

  1. Use the button here, or the link in your confirmation email ... both open our club page at USA Wrestling
  2. Create an account, or log into the one you already have
  3. Select the Athlete Membership option and complete checkout
  4. That is it ... buying it on our club page puts your wrestler on the River Falls roster automatically

Save or print the confirmation. If you already registered with us and left the USA Wrestling number blank, reply to your confirmation email with it and we will add it ... but nothing is waiting on you, and we can match your wrestler by name and date of birth either way.

Beyond the mat
