OUR TEAMS
Eastern Loudoun Wrestling Club (ELWC) is one large club comprised of different teams with their own practice and competition schedules. Participants receive general communications from the club, but team-specific information will be communicated to families directly from coaches.
LEOPARDS (grades 2-5)
This team focuses on fundamentals and is primarily comprised of wrestlers with 0-2 years of experience. Most importantly, we want youth to fall in love with the sport, obtain great exercise, and have a positive experience. The team competes in Top of the Podium's Winter Wrestling Series (events on Saturdays and Sundays), and the TOP Championships. Practices are expected to be held in Ashburn two nights a week (either Mon/Thurs or Tues/Thurs---will be finalized soon). Practices begin on November 6.
MIDDLE SCHOOL (grades 6-8)
ELWC manages teams for middle schools in the Ashburn, Leesburg, and Brambleton areas. Practices are held at high schools near the middle school attended by the wrestler (if athlete does not attend a school in the area, they will be assigned to a team). Our Middle School teams are comprised mainly of new and novice wrestlers (more advanced wrestlers join the Gold team, as described below). Our teams mainly compete in the Winter Wrestling Series (events on Saturday and Sunday), occasional dual meets, and the TOP Championships. The teams will practice Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from approximately 7-8:30 pm (tentatively at Stone Bridge HS and Riverside HS), and 5:15-7:00 pm (tentatively at Independence HS). The goal of these teams is to teach fundamentals that are necessary for success (now and in the future), obtain great exercise, and have a positive experience.
Middle School practices begin November 9.
