BIG NEWS!

The Sault Wrestling Club is happy to announce a partnership with "Steel City MMA", a new mixed martial arts training facility in Sault Ste. Marie.  What does this mean for the SWC?  Two things;
  1. The Sault Wrestling Club now has their own space.  No more rolling out mats and putting them away again everyday.  No more practicing at a highschool.  We now have a location to practice at during exams and the summer when local schools are closed.
  2. Elementary School Wresting Program.  That's right, SWC will be offering an elementary school wrestling program starting September 19th.  The elementary program will be coached by SWC coaches along with veteran highschool wrestlers.  Have young brothers, sisters, cousins or neighbours that might be interested?  Let them know.
Check out all the details of elementary school wrestling and Steel City MMA Here.
