Our Mission

Great Lakes Wrestling is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in St. Joseph, Michigan, committed to fostering the development of wrestlers through community engagement, inclusivity, sportsmanship, a strong work ethic, and nutritional awareness. We proudly welcome wrestlers of all ages and experience levels and aim to serve as a year-round hub for athletic development and community connection.

Great Lakes Wrestling’s mission extends beyond wrestling. Through partnerships with certified nutritionists and personal trainers, we provide holistic, performance-enhancing services that support our athletes both on and off the mat. Camps and clinics offer continuous opportunities for growth, skill development, and mentorship—an approach that promotes lifelong health, character development, and athletic achievement.
