The Jr Patriots Wrestling Club is an amateur non-profit kids wrestling organization, located in St Louis Missouri, where volunteers who are passionate about wrestling have been teaching Saint Louis kids great folkstyle wrestling technique for over 20 years!
The Jr Patriots Youth Wrestling Team was started in 1996 by former Parkway South Wrestling Coach Chip Allison, and some former Parkway South wrestlers, who wanted to see the sport grow in the St Louis area, while helping to supply Parkway South and other area high school wrestling teams with a steady supply of experienced Freshman wrestlers.
Join our wrestling club and learn how to wrestle using time proven Folkstyle Wrestling techniques designed for beginning wrestlers to advanced wrestlers. We compete against other area amateur wrestling clubs at many youth wrestling tournaments and provide information about youth wrestling camps and other wrestling opportunities available for our wrestlers.
The Jr. Patriots Youth Wrestling Club (Jr. Pats) believes that the sport of wrestling brings out the best in those who participate in it.
As one of the world’s greatest wrestlers and famed University of Iowa wrestling coach Dan Gable was famously quoted saying, “Once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy”
The Jr Patriots Kids Wrestling Team acts as a feeder program for many St. Louis area high schools.
We put the focus on the kids, and the goal is to teach folkstyle wrestling to anyone, 6 years old up until they leave high school, while promoting teamwork, good sportsmanship, work ethic, and team pride.
Practices consist of stretching, strength and conditioning (running, sit-ups, push-ups etc.) learning new wrestling techniques, practicing the techniques, and live wrestling. We may even play a game or two at the end of practice.
The Jr Patriots only attend tournaments AAU / USA sanctioned wrestling events, where we wrestle against other St Louis Area pee-wee and youth wrestling teams.
Most of the wrestlers who come through the Jr Patriots St Louis Youth Wrestling Team start with no prior knowledge about the sport of wrestling, but end up learning great wrestling skills and having great long-term wrestling careers.
With all of the practice and live wrestling experience that The Jr Patriots offer, our wrestlers will already have a huge head-start on their competition when they get to the Varsity High School Wrestling level.
