National Capital Wrestling Club

Welcome to the National Capital Wrestling Club (NCWC), a premier volunteer-led amateur wrestling club serving the National Capital Region and Eastern Ontario. We are dedicated to providing year-round training and holistic development opportunities for male and female wrestlers of all ages, from youth to university level. Our mission goes beyond the mat: we strive to nurture athletic, social, and respectful members of society who value health, safety, and community.

Our program is designed to be inclusive and engaging, regardless of a participant's background or experience level. We offer age-specific streams that prioritize fun and physical literacy for our younger athletes (ages 5-11) while providing competitive training and high-performance strategies for those aged 12 and up. Whether you are looking to compete at the provincial and national levels, cross-train for other sports, or simply get fit in a supportive environment, NCWC has a place for you. We are proud to partner with Ottawa Tourism and have been recognized for our resilience and community impact, holding practices at our main facility in the West End and seasonal sessions in Nepean.

Guided by an elite coaching staff, including our Head Coach Chris Schrauwen (Competition-Development certified) and former international medalists like Gen Morrison and Indira Moores, athletes receive world-class instruction. Our coaches bring a wealth of experience from U Sports, national championships, and Olympic-level training, ensuring that every wrestler develops strong fundamentals, tactical awareness, and personal growth. Join a community that values effort over outcome, where you will learn to give your best every time you step on the mat.
