Westsider Wrestling

About Us

What is Westsider Wrestling?

Westsider Wrestling Club is a not for profit society that was born the combination of all the high schools on the West side of Vancouver training together as one team. We’ve now grown to include a kids program for kids 5-12 Years old and adults of all ages.

For all ages the main goal is to have fun and get more kids playing sports. We combine gymnastics with games and wrestling techniques to develop physical literacy.

Our Coaches are all past University and Olympic wrestlers with a deep knowledge and love for the sport. We want to introduce wrestling to more kids at a young age to grow the sport in Vancouver.

Volunteers Needed!

Academic Coach

We are looking for someone to lead a study group after practice one night a week. Seeking someone who has a broad knowledge of high school curriculum and can work with wrestlers to make a study plan in order to manage athletics and academics. The commitment is 2-4 hours a week during the season. Please email chris@westsiderwrestling.com to inquire.

Assistant Elementary Coach

With a vibrant and growing program, we need more coaches all the time. No wrestling experience required. The assistant coaches will support the head coaches by helping with demonstrations and managing young wrestlers while they drill. Send all shows of interest to chris@westsiderwrestling.com

Online and Social Media Manager

We are looking for someone with experience managing a website and social media to help keep members up to date and boost our online profile. We are focused on growth and increasing our exposure. Please send all inquiries to chris@westsiderwrestling.com

Huge success with the West Side Elementary PE Classes

We had our coaches Erik, Ward and Saheel running PE Classes at 13 Vancouver Elementary Schools this fall. Huge THANK YOU to all the schools that participated. In total we had over 4,000 kids try wrestling, most for the first time. They did a thorough warmup, some simple technique and played interactive/physical games. Wrestling is a fun and empowering sport that is open to anyone regardless of age, gender, race, athletic ability, physical prowess, height, weight, speed or financial status.
