McLean Lions Wrestling
Registration Currently at Preliminary Capacity
Lions Wrestling registration is currently at preliminary capacity. Families interested in joining the program are strongly encouraged to complete our Waitlist Form.
We expect to accept a significant number of wrestlers from the waitlist. The temporary pause in registration gives us an opportunity to review the full group and make sure we can maintain safe and appropriate practice sizes, suitable training pairings, and a balanced mix of ages and weights.
If you are interested in joining Lions Wrestling this season, please complete the waitlist form rather than assuming the program is full. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a spot, but it is the way we will identify and contact families as additional openings become available.
We will contact families directly as spots open. Please do not complete a regular registration unless you have been notified that a space is available.
WELCOME TO THE LIONS WRESTLING CLUB
Welcome to the Lions Wrestling Club. We promote the sport of wrestling in the greater McLean area of Northern Virginia. We welcome beginners and experienced wrestlers ages 6-14. We may consider 5-year-olds on a case-by-case basis, and families should contact us before registering. We are part of the Northern Virginia Wrestling Federation (NVWF), which consists of similar clubs throughout northern Virginia. New wrestlers are always welcome. The NVWF is the perfect place for beginning wrestlers to learn the sport. Rookies are typically matched against other rookies at our weekly meets.
Our mission is to teach the sport of wrestling and the values and character traits wrestling reinforces. These include dedication and hard work as the path to success, a refusal to give up, an attitude of personal confidence, and most of all, taking responsibility for one's own successes and failures. We also strive to ensure that the kids have fun, and we measure our success as a youth program by retention rate.
Our typical season runs from early November through late February. Practices will be twice a week for our older wrestlers (likely Monday and Thursday this season) and twice a week for our younger wrestlers (likely Tuesday and Saturday this season). Tournaments are held on Sundays, usually starting in mid-December and continuing through mid-February.
Registration for the 2026–27 season will open on October 1 for returning families and October 5 for new families.
Go Lions!
