About Burbank Wrestling Club

Burbank Wrestling Club started out as a "satellite" team of the Tri-Cities Mat Rattlers in 2011. The first couple of years, we practiced in Pasco as we built our numbers. By our third year, we grew to 12 kids and decided to start holding practices in Burbank. The next few years, we doubled our numbers each year; 24 the next year, then  over 40 after that. We now have memberships range from 50-60 kids, ranging from 5 year olds to high school age.

Our goal, as a club, is to promote wrestling in the Burbank community, foster a love of the sport, and focus on skills that will help young athletes be successful on and off the mat. We promote good character, sportsmanship, hard work, and being a good teammate. These values are crucial for the success of Burbank wrestling, and provides young athletes with the important skills to be successful in anything they pursue.

We participate in several leagues. Washington Little Guy Wrestling League (WLGWL), now an affiliate of WSWA, focuses on Folkstyle wrestling and was our flagship league in 2011 and is for 5-14 year olds. Recently, we joined Oregon Wrestling Association for Youth (ORWAY), also Folkstyle, and Washington State Wrestling Association (WSWA), which provides USA Wrestling opportunities in Washington in the Freestyle, Greco-Roman, and Folkstyle.
