The Coaches
Our coaching staff includes several dedicated former wrestlers who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to our program. Each coach has completed a full background check to help ensure a safe, positive environment for all athletes.
They are often joined by current and former parent volunteers, as well as alumni blackhawk athletes who return to share their passion and energy on the mat.
We’re always looking for enthusiastic individuals who want to support our team and help young athletes grow. If you’re interested in getting involved, we’d love to hear from you!
