Our Story

Forged In The Desert

Way Out West Wrestling was built by Arizona wrestlers, for Arizona wrestlers. Founded by two 3× High School State Champions who went on to compete at Arizona State University, WOW was born from a belief that the next generation of champions deserves world-class coaching right here at home.

This season we're making changes that allow every athlete — from beginners to nationally competitive wrestlers — to receive coaching that's appropriate for their experience level. Two dedicated programs. Two paths to greatness.

This is the West. We finish what we start.
