Our Story

Built on the mat. Shaped by faith.

The Lions Wrestling Club was founded to support DMC students through the lifelong lessons learned on the wrestling mat. Through discipline, humility, perseverance, and grace under pressure, we develop young men and women to lead in competition, school, and life.

Serving K-8 athletes, our coaches train and mentor the next generation side-by-side. We compete at a high level, but our true measure of success is the athletes who leave our program ready for life.

What we stand for

Faith

Rooted in Christ

We compete with conviction, pray before we step on the mat, and trust that every match — won or lost — is shaping us into who God called us to be.

Discipline

Built on Character

Show up. Work hard. Tell the truth. Wrestling rewards repetition and integrity — the same habits that make our athletes successful in everything else they pursue.

Excellence

Pursuing Greatness

Good enough isn't. We chase greatness in technique, in conditioning, and in the way we carry ourselves — because how we do anything is how we do everything.
