Please understand RJW will assess all wrestlers during the first few weeks of practices. As the coaches assess the wrestler’s skill, commitment and progress, the coaching staff may recommend that your wrestler move to a different group to get the best experience for your wrestler based on their skill level.

Dog Pound – K through 4th Grade with no experience, or 1-2 years of experience.
Intermediate – 5th through 8th Grade or a minimum of 2 years of wrestling experience.
Advanced – ages 10 and up with a minimum of 3 years of wrestling experience.
