Welcome To River Falls Wrestling In 1974 a handful of individuals including Dave Amdahl, DeWayne Benedict and Pauly Cudd Jr. among others - established the River Falls Wrestling Club with a directive and a common mission to promote the sport of wrestling in the River Falls area. We are a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
While attending an event, there is a pretty good chance that you will see these and others from that era, still cheering from the stands. Their passion and vision still loudly carries through today's program. As a club, we aim to provide wrestling instruction for youths in pre-kindergarten up to and including seniors in high school, to provide financial assistance to the numerous school teams, and to promote the sport of wrestling to the public.
Quality and experienced coaches with background checks and credentials - will provide wrestling instruction with an emphasis on fundamentals that breed physical and mental growth. Each child gets group and individualized instruction depending on their individual skill level. The hosted tournaments and fund raising efforts of the club allow us to assist our school teams with the venue, equipment, uniforms, mats, tournament supplies, and other critical items that are required for the sport at all levels.
Wrestling is a unique and special sport - here in River Falls and in every corner of the world; it provides both physical and mental development, as well as both team and individual competitions. The River Falls Wrestling Club strives to help give each youth wrestler the skills to achieve success on the mat as well as off mat. Most important is that wrestling is fun. We hope you will join us and mention your experience to a friend, another family or another child. The club operates and adheres to the guidelines of USA Wrestling and is a USA Wrestling sanctioned wrestling club. We have a clear purpose, a clear mission and great volunteer leadership. We are engaged in the River Falls area community and are continually open to new ideas. Wrestling is the sixth-most popular sport for boys at the high school level with 272,890 participants in 10,363 schools during the 2009-10 season, according to the NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) Athletics Participation Survey. In addition, 6,134 girls were involved in wrestling in 1,009 high schools.
We support our youth wrestling, middle school, high school and summer wrestling (freestyle & Greco-Roman) programs. In addition, we support those that continue to wrestle in college and post-high school endeavors.
