Our Mission
Great Lakes Wrestling is committed to fostering the development of wrestlers through community engagement, inclusivity, and sportsmanship. We proudly welcome youth wrestlers of all ages and experience levels and aim to serve as a year-round hub for athletic development and community connection.
Great Lakes Wrestling’s mission extends beyond wrestling. Through partnerships with personal trainers, we provide holistic, performance-enhancing services that support our athletes both on and off the mat. Camps and clinics offer continuous opportunities for growth, skill development, and mentorship—an approach that promotes lifelong health, character development, and athletic achievement.
Our Slogan: Homegrown
Homegrown embodies our core values of community, belonging, and remembering our roots and those who have supported us.
Our Mats
Our top priorities are safety, quality, and performance. That is why we have purchased three 42' x 42' two-sided Classic wrestling mats from Resilite. The Classic mat is made with the longest-lasting foam technology, providing industry-leading impact protection and cushioning. We believe these mats will minimize the risk of injury for our athletes during intense practices and enhance our athletes' training experience. One side will be printed as competition, while the other side will be printed for practice. The three mats were ordered in August 2025 and are expected to arrive by Spring 2026.
