Batavia Wrestling Club

We are an Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation (IKWF) and USA Wrestling affiliated club for kids between the ages of 5 and 14 in Batavia.  Our primary goal is to prepare young athletes to be good people and successful high school wrestlers. This includes academics as well as athletics. 

We are an IRS designated 501c(3) Charitable Organization and an Illinois based Not-For-Profit Corporation.  All of our coaches, board members, and committee chairs are volunteers, and all revenue generated from fundraising activities goes directly to offset the costs of running the club and to support the Batavia High School wrestling program. 

We are fully supported by the Batavia High School Wrestling coaching staff.   Aside from having great wrestling credentials and strong community support, our club also prides itself in maintaining the highest level of integrity in all areas. 

The Batavia Wrestling Club is open to all Batavia wrestlers who share our goals.  Please explore our website to learn more.  You may also submit a request to be added to our mailing list by contacting any member of the Batavia Wrestling Club board of directors. 

For more questions about the club, visit our F&Q page.

How to Become a Coach

Coaches Card -new coach instructions

  1. Go to https://www.usawmembership.com  and create an account.   When you do this, make sure your club affiliation is the Batavia Wrestling Club.  
  2.   Then make the steps to purchase your “wrestling leader” coaches’ card.   The system will stop you and redirect you to the background check site.
  3. Do the background check- it usually takes about 2 days to get it through.
  4. Then try again to purchase your card and it’ll stop you again.  This time do the “safe sport” video which is about 1.5hours.   When you’ve completed this, send me an email and I’ll purchase your card.
  5. We’re not done yet.  You need your Copper Certification to Coach at the tournaments.  click on https://whttps://www.usawmembership.com/ncep_courses and click on purchase Copper Certification and it’ll redirect you to the website .  When you finish this certification, the club will reimburse you the $50 fee.
  6. The only fee you’re responsible for is the background check.
  7. Once your Copper Certified, you never have to retake this.   However, we have to do the safe sport video every year and the background checks every two years.
