Our mission is to create Champions on and off the mat!
Our goals are to get our wrestlers wrestling in college and to build and help mold great individuals that will give back to the community. We focus on teaching from the very basic to the most advance techniques the sport has to offer.
Presently, the Silverback Wrestling Club averages about 80 members a year. Roughly half of those are between the ages of 4 and 12. The rest are high school age and college age students.
We go to many in-state and out of state tournaments year round and our club has produced some of Connecticut's best youth, middle school, high school and college age group wrestlers. Our club is a place where the sport of wrestling is our focus, but that is not all. Being a Silverback means you are fulfilling your responsibilities in school and at home. The Club instills values that hard work, determination and discipline that are the great building blocks for life.
The biggest reason our Club is successful is due to the community help we get and the great coaches and parents that volunteer their time to help out. We have many coaches that have wrestled at Windham High School under Coaches Crudden and Risley so they all understand the coaching philosophy and instill it to our members. We also have many coaches that were great wrestlers at the High School and College level and they know the sport inside and out. Our coaching staff is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable in the area.
The best part about our club is it's more like a family than a club.
