Wrestling is a sport in which dedication and desire usually pays off.  Unlike some other sports, size is not that important.  Wrestling is about building character, self confidence, and self satisfaction with one’s achievements. Wrestling helps a young person find out how far he can take it past his own limits.  Wrestling helps build the kind of character that leads to a productive adult life.  Wrestling develops discipline, stamina, self control, and conditioning.  Wrestling is an individual sport; you can not rely on your teammates to wrestle for you.  Each individual has to go out on the mat and face his opponent on his own.

Objectives are to teach the wrestlers the skills necessary to compete in the sport of wrestling, improve overall fitness level, and to achieve a competence level that commands respect.

The MVAA is a volunteer organization; we need administrative and coaching help. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact us.
