Welcome to Highlands Ranch's Elite Wrestling Club 

The Mountain Vista Golden Eagle Wrestling Club was established in 2001 when MVHS officially opened.  The wrestling team was lead by Head Coach Tim Hill.  Coach Hill had a vision about the future of Mountain Vista wrestling and he began a grass roots effort in introducing the sport to our youth and their families in the Mountain Vista community.  Our club has grown significantly and consistently each and every year.  We feel the Mountain Vista Golden Eagle WC is the gold standard of wrestling club's in Highlands Ranch.  Our mission remains strong by introducing this great sport to the families in our community.   Along the way, we hope to help foster a genuine love for the sport by both the athlete and their family.   We offer multiple levels of instruction and competition for the beginner to the experienced wrestler.  It is our goal to train and inspire the future wrestlers of Mountain Vista High School.  Those schools that feed to Mountain Vista High School are: 

Bear Canyon Elementary

Copper Mesa Elementary

Heritage Elementary

North Ridge Elementary

Sand Creek Elementary

Summit View Elementary

Mountain Ridge Middle School

Our club is open to any child interested in wrestling that attends any one of the feeder elementary schools, or Mountain Ridge Middle School.  We do accept wrestlers from other elementary schools, if their respective high school does not offer a wrestling program or they would prefer to train with us.  Our program is capped at 75 athletes, therefore those within the feeder area are guaranteed a spot up to our cap and anyone outside of our feeder area will be placed on a wait list and notified of their eligibility prior to the start of the season.  We have four teams, the White, Green, Black & Gold Teams.

MV Golden Eagle WC Gold Team Ages 8-14:

The Gold Team is designed for the elite experienced wrestler.  Gold is for those that have committed to wrestling and have a great desire to compete and practice at a very intense and high level.  The Gold Team is by invitation only.  There are several criteria that the club coaches evaluate and discuss regarding any individual athlete and their progression within the sport which warrants an invitation to the Gold Team.  If your athlete shows the passion and dedication expected, you will be approached and invited to the Gold Team.  Requests from parents for their wrestler to be considered for the Gold Team will still need to be evaluated by the coaching staff and an invitation will be extended if appropriate.  Acceptance of an unsolicited invitation is optional and should be considered only after a disucssion with the coaching staff has been conducted.  Gold Team wrestlers that do not fulfill the requirements will be asked to move to the Green Team.  One of the most important aspects of wrestling is in the practice room.  It is expected that every Gold Team wrestler attend every practice, give 100% at every practice and focus on what we teach.  Absence from practice not only hurts the individual, but creates damaging effects on the rest of the team.  Gold Team wrestlers are expected to be at all mandatory competitions.  The schedule of tournaments is posted on our event calendar, and is communicated at the beginning of the season.  We often times wrestle in two day tournaments.  Wrestlers and their families are expected to devote a great deal of their time to practice and tournaments during the season.  This will ensure that all Gold Team wrestlers are prepared with the physical and emotional demands of the sport.  It is expected that all Gold Team wrestlersnot only work extremely hard, but that they have the support of their family as well.     

Cost:

$100.00 registration fee

All tournament entry fees, travel expenses, custom gear and apparel is the responsibility of the wrestler and their family.  The cost of each tournament varies, however an estimate of costs for the entire Gold Team season is $1500.00.

All Gold Team wrestlers are required to hold a USA Wrestling membership. 

Season Description:

The Gold Team season begins in early October with pre-season practices three times per week.  Gold Team wrestlers are expected to attend at least two pre-season practices per week.  An effort has been put forth to accommodate those playing football by scheduling practices after dark.  Pre-season runs for the entire month of October.  Mandatory practices begin the first week of November, three nights per week for 2 hours.  Typical practice days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Gold Team wrestlers are expected to be at every practice.  Wrestlers that miss multiple scheduled practices will be asked to go to the Green Team.  The Gold Team does practice over the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holiday period, and wrestlers are expected to be present during these times.  Our first competition is typically the Monster Match Nationals within the Rocky Mountain Nationals series of tournaments.  The date is usually the last weekend in October, or the first weekend in November.  Gold Team wrestlers are expected to compete in a minimum of 5 tournaments throughout the season, as well as the Colorado Youth All State Tournament and the USA Wrestling State Championships.  The regular season typically ends after the USA Wrestling State Championships the first weekend in March.  

Although optional, it is important that Gold Team wrestlers continue their training into the spring.  Each year, Colorado USA Wrestling provides a series of Freestyle and Greco Roman tournaments at various locations.  Our club does provide FS/GR instruction and practices twice per week beginning in mid March through the end of May.  We compete in the local CUSAW tournaments and end the FS/GR season competing in the Southern Plains Regionals and the USA Wrestling FS/GR Nationals.  The regional tournament and the national tournament are held in Hays Kansas and Utah respectively.
