The Janesville Youth Wrestling Club JYWC

PERSISTENT – INDUSTRIOUS – NEIGHBORLY

Empowering Janesville’s Youth Through Wrestling Excellence.

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a fun, safe, and competitive environment for kids in grades 1st through 8th to learn and practice the sport of wrestling. We are located in Janesville, WI and we are affiliated with the USA Wrestling program. It is our philosophy that any youth who participates in Janesville Youth Wrestling will have the opportunity to enhance and develop, not only wrestling skills, but also his or her social skills. Competitive wrestling offers each individual the chance to enjoy the daily interaction with fellow wrestlers and properly trained coaches.

YOUTH WRESTLING CLUB Benefits:

When you join our club, you will receive a USA CARD that allows you to participate in local, state, regional, and national tournaments. You will also get access to our experienced coaches, supportive parents, and friendly teammates. You will have the opportunity to compete against other clubs and schools, travel to different places, and make lifelong memories.

Competitive sport will introduce youth to many values they will carry with them throughout their lives. It is our desire to teach skills, values, and offer character-building traits that will not emphasize that you “win at all costs”. Often these ideals are fostered by over zealous parents and coaches. Our program will not only help develop children to understand that success often includes winning, but ultimately means committing to learn to become a team player, to become physically and mentally sound, and be a part of competition that stresses improvement and fun as an end goal. Being able to compete is something all individuals must learn, to be able to succeed in life.

We will (at all times) promote to wrestlers, coaches, parents and volunteers the following:

  • Persistent- continuing to push “forward” despite obstacles. 
  • Industrious- hard-working and actively committed to achieving goals.
  • Neighborly- having integrity and expressing empathy for fellow Pythons and community members.

Registration for our Python program takes place the last week of October every season. For more details, please call Jeremy Harnack at 608-359-6024.

We hope you join us and become part of our Python family!

“Empowering young wrestlers to be persistent, industrious, and neighborly, fostering their personal growth, athletic excellence, and positive contributions to the Janesville community.”
