About Us

The Lacey Youth Wrestling Club, located in Lacey Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, was formed in 1986. The club currently consists of approximately 100 members ranging in age from 5 to 14 years. The club's philosophy allows kids to have fun while developing the skills and respect for the sport necessary for success.

WHEN IS THE SEASON?
The season runs from mid-November through March. Practices are held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the Mill Pond School. Registration is held the first week of October at the Middle School.

WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT WILL I NEED?
The club will loan each wrestler protective head gear as well as a singlet to be worn to tournaments. The club also normally provides each wrestler with practice/warm-up clothing. (E.G., t-shirt, sweatshirt and shorts.) Wrestlers may choose to purchase a pair of wrestling shoes. However, these are not required.

WHAT IS THE COMPETITION LIKE?
During practice, new wrestlers will be separated from experienced wrestlers. Depending on the number of wrestlers participating, they will also be paired with someone around their own age and weight to the extent possible.

Tournaments are held by various wrestling clubs throughout the state nearly every weekend during the season. There are many held near by. There is usually a nominal fee to participate in these tournaments.

During the tournaments, wrestlers compete against other children their own, age, weight and experience level. The divisions are as follows:
Tot 5 & 6 year olds
Bantam 7 & 8 year olds
Midget 9 & 10 year olds
Junior 11 & 12 year olds
Intermediate 13 & 14 year olds

These divisions are further divided by weight and there is usually a novice level at each of the younger divisions.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Fees may vary slightly from year to year but are normally very competitive with other youth sports clubs in the area so please contact us for more information.
