What is a Regional Training Center?

“USA Wrestling, in conjunction with its state associations, offers training opportunities for all USA Wrestling members, through a growing system of Regional Training Centers.

The purpose of the RTC system is to provide young wrestlers with available locations to actively train in the sport of wrestling year-round. Very often, wrestlers have the desire to deepen their commitment to attaining higher goals. However, many wrestlers cannot find an active club or quality workout partners. The RTC system aims to help these aspiring wrestlers.

To attend practice at a Regional Training Center, a wrestler must be a member athlete of USA Wrestling and meet at least one of the qualification criteria in the Regional Training Center contract. If unsure whether you qualify for such practice, please contact the Regional Training Center.

Wrestlers and coaches that attend RTC practices will learn more about the sport of wrestling as they continue to improve their abilities. Across the country, more and more Regional Training Centers will be recognized by USA Wrestling. Kids and coaches will now have more opportunities to train than ever before.” For more information, visit the USA Wrestling website.

The mission of the CLT Regional Training Center is to provide qualified youth and Olympic hopeful athletes’ access to facilities, training partners, and elite-level coaching in a safe environment. Therefore, allowing the individual to achieve athletic potential.
