“THE TOUGHEST CLUB IN TOWN”

MISSION

THE NORFOLK WRESTLING ACADEMY’S MISSION IS TO EMPOWER YOUNG ATHLETES THROUGH THE SPORT OF WRESTLING BY PROMOTING PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING, DISCIPLINE, RESILIENCE, AND A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUTH OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES CAN THRIVE, DEVELOP SKILLS, AND ACHIEVE THEIR PERSONAL BEST, BOTH ON AND OFF THE WRESTLING MAT.

VISION

OUR VISION IS TO ESTABLISH A DYNAMIC AND VIBRANT WRESTLING PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTES HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH DIVERSE CLUB ACTIVITIES, HEALTHY COMPETITION, MENTORSHIP, EXPOSURE, AND PARTICIPATION IN COLLEGIATE WRESTLING CLINICS.

GOALS

OUR CURRENT GOAL IS TO INCREASE OUR MEMBERSHIP TO AT LEAST 50 ACTIVE WRESTLERS BY THE END OF 2024. WE WILL DO THIS BY BEING VALUE-FOCUSED AND ENGAGING DIVERSE COMMUNITY ASSETS IN SUPPORT OF THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM AND ITS YOUTH PARTICIPANTS. IN PARTICULAR, THE NORFOLK WRESTLING ACADEMY WILL WORK WITH YOUTH FROM UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS, POSITIVE DECISION-MAKING, AND VALUES.

VALUES

DISCIPLINE – DOING THE HARD THINGS THAT WILL LEAD TO IMPROVEMENT REGARDLESS OF BEING MOTIVATED OR NOT.

EFFORT – TAKING EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO GET BETTER AND NOT BECOMING COMPLACENT IN OUR ACTIONS.

HUMILITY – BEING PROUD OF OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND APPRECIATING THAT NO ONE DOES ANYTHING OF VALUE ALONE.

RESPECT – HONORING OTHERS BY SHOWING CARE, CONCERN, AND CONSIDERATION.

RESILIENCE – ABILITY TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES, BOUNCE BACK FROM ADVERSITY, AND EMERGE MORE ROBUST AND MORE DETERMINED.
