Club eager to train upcoming wrestlers

The club's main vision is to revive wrestling as a sport in Randfontein.

Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling-type techniques such as clinch-fighting, throws and take-downs, joint locks and pins. It is one of the oldest forms of combat.

The Eagles Wrestling Club is looking for eager boys and girls of all ages to join in the sport of amateur wrestling.

The club’s main vision is to revive wrestling as a sport in Randfontein. All wrestlers are given equal opportunities to develop their skills during practices and tournaments. Tournaments are held in and around Gauteng throughout the year and are excellent opportunities for the wrestlers to show what they have learnt during practice.
