Who We Are
Orting Junior Cardinals Wrestling is a nonprofit youth wrestling club open to Orting kids ages 5–12 and Middle Schoolers, of any experience level. As proud members of the Pierce County Junior Wrestling League (PCJWL), we're part of a strong community of youth wrestling programs throughout the Puget Sound region, giving Orting wrestlers a structured, competitive envoronment to learn, grow, and challenge themselves.
Our program exists to give every Cardinal wrestler a place to grow — on the mat and off it. We're building something structured and lasting: a real developmental pipeline for Orting wrestling, not just a season that resets every year.
Our Coaching Philosophy
- Development — meeting each wrestler where they are and building from there
- Fundamentals — developing strong habits and sound technique that carry wrestlers to the next level
- Discipline — showing up, working hard, and following through
- Sportsmanship — respect for teammates, opponents, and officials, always
- Competitiveness — preparing wrestlers to keep progressing, season after season
