THE GRIT. THE GRIND. THE GUILD.
RHEA WRESTLING GUILD · BULL FROGS
We're building a youth wrestling program in Rhea County for ages 12 to 17. If you want your child on the mat, put your name on the list. We will not rent a room or buy mats until enough families are in.
A rented space, mats on the floor, and coaches who will treat kids the right way. Insurance, screened coaches, and a real practice plan come before the first practice, not after.
These are the standards we will hold to before anyone steps on a mat.
This first group is for middle and high school ages. If you have a younger wrestler, say so on the form. We can look at a younger group later if there is enough interest.
Every coach will hold a current AAU or USA Wrestling coach card. That is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Coaches and any other adult who works with athletes will pass a background check before they are around kids at practice.
Coaches will complete required SafeSport or equivalent athlete-protection training. Practices will run with at least two screened adults present.
Coverage, mats, and a written practice plan will be in place before the first practice. No one wrestles until that is done.
We will contact parents and guardians, not athletes directly. Waivers, emergency contacts, and medical notes will be collected at registration, not on this interest list. Athletes who compete will need their own AAU or USA Wrestling card.
This is an interest list, not registration. Signing up does not enroll your child or charge a fee.
Tell us your child's age (this first group is 12 to 17), when you can practice, and whether a modest monthly fee would work for your family once the program is live.
We need about 15 to 20 families who would actually show up and pay before we sign a lease or purchase mats and insurance.
If you can run a practice, keep score, or help at the door, say so on the form. This will be a small, all-hands start.
Jason Brock Founder and Coach
I live in Dayton, I'm a dad of seven, and I'm a retired Navy Chief Hospital Corpsman. I was a two-time high school state qualifier, wrestled for the Marine Corps for a year, and trained at Victory MMA in San Diego. I hold a current AAU coach card. I founded Veteran Service Coalition, which is helping get this program started. If you put your name on the list, you're reaching me, and I'll be accountable for how the Guild is run.
This first group is for athletes ages 12 to 17. We'll use this only to plan the Rhea Wrestling Guild and to reach you when there is news. We will not sell your information.
We'll be in touch when there is a practice plan, a location, or a next step for families. Thank you for helping us see if Rhea County is ready for this.
The Guild is where we start: youth wrestling for Rhea County and surrounding communities. As a permanent youth sports home comes together, we intend to add more ways for kids to train year-round. Families who can join will help keep the doors open. Youth who need a sponsored spot will have a way to apply, funded by donations or by a family who steps up for them.
