Fox Valley saints Wrestling

The official preK-8 wrestling program of the

Xavier and Fox Valley Lutheran school systems

About our programs

Saints preK-1st is a beginner level program, designed with the intent of getting the energy out while having fun with friends and learning the basics of wrestling. PreK-1st graders are not required or expected to compete in weekend tournaments but all are encouraged to compete in a couple of weekday meets we plan in which wrestlers will be matched by coaches against opponents of similar skill as well as the (just for fun) end of season intrasquad dual. Practices are held Mondays from 5:45- 6:45 starting after Christmas break, lasting until mid March (Cost is $40, early registration discounts until 9/30/23)
Open to wrestlers of all experience levels, Saints Wrestling is about teaching the basic skills of wrestling to beginners and more advanced skills as wrestlers gain more experience and confidence, still with a focus on having fun. In this transitional group, 2nd-4th graders will practice at Xavier Middle school 5:45- 6:45 on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning after Christmas break. There is no regular season competition, however those who feel ready are encouraged to participate in up to two weekend tournaments and two weekday meets which coaches will pair against opponents of similar skill, in addition to our end of year intrasquad dual. (Cost is $75, early registration discounts until 9/30/23)
Open to wrestlers of all experience levels, Saints Wrestling will teach the basic skills of wrestling to beginners and more advanced skills as wrestlers gain more experience and confidence, still with a focus on having fun. 5-8th graders will practice Monday - Thursday at Xavier Middle School gym 4-5:30pm following the after school strength and conditioning program. Wrestlers from schools other than XMS are welcome to join in the S&C program as soon as they can arrive. 6-8th graders are members of the Appleton Area Public School Wrestling Conference and compete against local schools on Tuesdays starting mid January, the season lasts until mid March at which time those wrestlers who are ready to compete at the next level are encouraged to participate in the State Qualifiers. 5th graders will be encouraged to compete in two weekend tournaments and 2 weekday duals where coaches pair wrestlers with opponents of similar skill, as well as the end of season intrasquad dual (Cost is $100, early registration discounts until 9/30/23)
Saints Wrestling Preview night will be held on Nov 19th 5:30-6:30pm at Xavier Middle School. All ages/grades and experience levels welcome. For new wrestlers this is your chance to meet the coaches and see what Saints wrestling is all about without requiring any committment. For prior Saints wrestlers, this will serve as a chance to say hi to the coaches and as a primer to the season and give you a chance to bring a friend to check it out with you! All who register by Nov. 1 will receive a free Saints t-shirt and returning Saints wrestlers who bring a friend will receive an exclusive Saints gym bag!
