| Since
1971, the Peninsula Wrestling Club (PWC), a non-profit
organization, has promoted the personal development of thousands
of young people, from many races and economic statuses. The
Peninsula Wrestling Club is sanctioned by USA Wrestling, and has
been honored as a "Gold Medal Club",
and Roy Pittman is a "Gold"
level certified coach, one of only 12 in the United States. All
wrestlers that want to learn are welcome to join us.
Our club members range in age from 4 to 18, but it's not unusual
for some of our former members to return for a practice or to
help coach. Through wrestling, we strive to develop
adults who are able to deal with the challenges of everyday life
by learning to make the "right" choice. We believe
that self-discipline, self-direction, leadership, and sportsmanship
teaches our wrestlers to distinguish the difference between happiness
and pleasure, and how to deal
with adversity and with the "unfair".
Everyone
is looking for a hero and someone to look up to, but all they
have to do is look in the mirror. We teach people to
see the hero and champion in themselves.
In addition to our excellent coaching staff,
wrestling champions such Les
Gutches, Matt Lindland,
Randy Couture, Anthony Amado, Travis West, Broderick Lee, Zeke
Jones, or World Cup coach Donnie McPherson sometimes come visit
us and coach a practice or two. At PWC,
you'll receive some of the finest coaching available, and each
wrestler is expected to give back and make his workout partners
great!
All are welcome to become part of our family. Come
practice with us. Visitors
are always welcome! If you do choose to join our
club, membership fees are kept to the bare minimum: a
yearly $150 membership fee, and quarterly dues of just $50. If
for any reason one of our members cannot afford to pay these fees
or buy wrestling shoes or a singlet, scholarships or payment plans
are always available. No one who wants to wrestle
and be a part of our team is ever turned away. |
