Founded in 1990, the Bison Wrestling Club has developed
young athletes by teaching them sportsmanship, physical conditioning, endurance and the techniques of the oldest sport in
the world, wrestling. Our program emphasizes extensive
physical warm up and conditioning. The coaches teach different moves and techniques through demonstration and practice.
Our practices are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
and Saturday mornings at the Wheeling or Buffalo Grove High Schools in Illinois. Schedule times & locations are
listed in the Schedules portion of our web site.
We compete at tournaments from December through March
at various schools across the area. These matches are also based on same weight, age, and level of experience whenever possible.
Tournament competition isn't mandatory, so there's
no social pressure inhibiting inexperienced young athletes from learning & working out with us. Our club had 52 wrestlers last year. For those of you who are ready
for some healthy competition, we have had 49 state place winners, four state champions and a national champion. Our
team finished second in the overall state tournament last year. Our members come from Wheeling, Arlington Hts, Buffalo
Grove and fourteen other northwest Illinois suburbs.
Come and join us for a trial practice or contact us if you have
any questions.
