 Who We Are & What We Do

The Warren County Wrestling Parents Association, Inc. (WCWPA) is a nonprofit organization supports amateur athletes through youth wrestling and promotes amateur wrestling among Warren County’s youth as well as amateur wrestling activities at Warren County High School in the pursuit of athletic development and excellence.

We are the sponsoring body for multiple wrestling teams with athletes ranging in ages from 4 to 18 years old.  Our teams include: Mat Cats, which is our youth wrestling group that competes in the Mason Dixon Wrestling League; the Warren County Middle School team, grades 6 through 8, which competes in the Northern Virginia Junior League; and the Warren County High School team, which competes in the Virginia High School League. In the last few seasons, interest in wrestling has continued to grow and prosper in Warren County with each team setting new records for participation. The Parents Association also sponsors a new summer wrestling club called Next Level Wrestling through Front Royal Parks and Recreation. This organization supports year-round wrestling opportunities for the county’s youth.

 In addition to furthering sportsmanship, self-discipline, and teamwork, WCWPA provides a wide range of financial support to the teams by: funding the teams to attend local and regional tournaments, purchasing healthy, nutritionist-approved team meals before and during competition, awarding wrestling camp scholarships, and hosting wrestling events during the school season, as well as off-season tournaments.

Help The Team Your Way

On a team as large as our Wildcats, it can be difficult to get everyone involved in the same way. All we are doing is asking for is help from people interested in providing assistance in whatever way works for them. If you can time, please consider helping at the concession stand during the season. Perhaps, time isn't something you have to lend, maybe it would be easier for you to provide food donations or make something for the hospitality room. There are so many ways to help with these activities, so please consider lending a hand in support of the kids. Please contact the Parent's Association using the information in the side bar on this page. Thank you for all your support!
