The Fox Valley Wrestling Club (FVWC), offers its members (youths 4-14 and not in high school), training opportunities in folkstyle wrestling. Membership applications are available to residents of the greater Naperville/Aurora/Plainfield/Bolingbrook area, and are reviewed for entry into the club on an annual basis by the FVWC coaching staff.
Our practices are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (6:30-8:00 pm) at Neuqua Valley High School, beginning in early November and continuing through March. Tournament-style competitions are held on Sundays during the season in various locations throughout the greater Chicagoland area.
We are members of the following governing bodies: USA Wrestling (USAW), and Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF). All FVWC wrestlers are required to maintain membership with USAW, as required by the IKWF. All FVWC coaches are required to be approved by the Team President and Head Coach, maintain membership with USAW and be properly certified by USAW.
Club fees for this season are $225.00 per wrestler.
We offer a $50.00 discount for each additional sibling member.
We provide each wrestler with: registration and membership in USA Wrestling/IKWF, competition wrestling singlet/warm-ups, work-out shorts and shirt, team and individual photos, and a pre-paid Awards Banquet for all family members. Tournament fees are additional. (Generally, $15.00 per tournaments). We feel this is the most effective way to make certain all wrestlers and their families are included in every club activity/offer throughout the season, with a minimum of additional expenses or concerns. Fees are due at the time of registration.
Practices will be attended by only coaches and wrestlers following the first week of the season (“open-house” week). We have found this to be the best way to provide a safe and productive environment for our wrestlers and coaches.
All wrestlers are required to practice wearing: a practice singlet or compression shirt and shorts), wrestling shoes, and headgear (advised, not mandatory). Competition singlets/warm-ups are only to be worn to competitions, not to practice. Each wrestler is advised to bring a water bottle (squeeze-style, no leak), to practice.
Tournaments are scheduled on Sundays (with an occassional Saturday), throughout the season. Weigh-ins are generally held between 6:30 – 8:00 am, with wrestling starting by 9:00 am, and finishing between 1:00 – 5:00 pm.
We encourage our members to embrace our values: confidence, determination, commitment, integrity, and loyalty. All wrestlers and family members are expected to conduct themselves in a manner which is respectful of the club and the sport of wrestling. A failure to do so may result in suspension or expulsion from the club.
Practices are held at: Neuqua Valley High School
