Here, you will find the latest news, information, schedules, rosters, and everything that is VYI Wrestling. Please check the site frequently for the updates about our club.

VYI Wrestling is one of the premier youth wrestling clubs in the Northern Virginia area.  We offer a challenging, competitive atmosphere for wrestlers ages 6 - 14 years old and all skill levels. 

The club is comprised of two programs designed to allow wrestlers to compete at the level they are best suited.  The House Program wrestles in the Northern Virginia Wrestling Federation (NVWF).  The NVWF is a developmental league where the emphasis is on learning fundemental skills while competing against wrestlers of the same age and experience level.  The NVWF season runs from November thru March.

The Beltway Program is a team of more experienced wrestlers who compete in the Capital Area Wrestling League (CAWL), open tournaments throughout the Middle Atlantic region and in National level events.  The CAWL is a team dual format league where the focus is on developing advanced wrestling skills and is for the more dedicated wrestler preparing to wrestle in high school.  Wrestlers will be encouraged to wrestle in as many as 50 matches throughout the season.  The regular season runs from November through April.  

Teams practice at the Madison High School wrestling room in Vienna, VA.  VYI Wrestling does NOT advocate weight loss to "make weight" as part of our sport.

The practice schedules for the 2009-10 season are now posted on the VYI Wrestling Homepage Calendar.  These practice schedules are subject to change as a result of school closings, school event conflicts, and other issues.  We will make every attempt to notify everyone in advance of changes however, we may miss something.   To use the calendar just click on the date of interest and all events will be displayed.

PRACTICE GROUP I - will practice: 
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30-8:30 PM at Madison HS.  

PRACTICE GROUP II - will practice:
Wednesday and Friday from 6-7:30 PM at Madison HS. 

We will be sending out a reminder email to everyone advising them of their practice group.  Please only report to the practice session to which you are assigned.  Please do not show up to another practice session without speaking to the coach of that session ahead of time.  Space is limited in the each mat room and overcrowding creates safety concerns.    Coaches reserve the right to reassign your wrestler to another practice group if they believe it to be in the best interest of the wrestler.  All changes will be discussed with the parents prior to making any change.  The coaches expect the same courtesy.

Thank you for your support of our programs.

Coach Yorkdale
