What age groups can join Silverback Wrestling Club?
We welcome athletes as young as 4 years old and train competitors of all ages and weight classes — from youth beginners to elite college-level wrestlers.
What if I already wrestle for a high school team?
That’s great — you’re welcome here! Many of our athletes compete for their high school teams and train with us to take their skills to the next level.

Bring your teammates, try one of our camps, or drop in for a session — we’d love to have you on the mat.
What if I'm not in LA or OC, or live out of state? Can I still train with Coach Ian Butler?
Absolutely. No matter where you're located, you can still access world-class coaching from Coach Ian Butler. We offer remote training options including private video chat lessons, match film breakdown, drilling assignments, weight management guidance, and mental preparation strategies.
For serious athletes, we also provide long-term athletic development plans, college recruiting support, and the opportunity for in-person sessions when possible. Whether you're across the country or just outside LA/OC, we’re committed to helping you grow on and off the mat.

What does it mean to be part of Silverback Wrestling Club's Travel Team?
For middle schoolers and up, joining our Travel Team means being part of a focused, competitive, and supportive group that travels to top-tier events like Super 32, Fargo, Freakshow, and more.
Our team travels together (by van or plane), stays in supervised team housing (separated for boys and girls), and bonds through team-building activities outside of competition. Athletes warm up, compete, and celebrate as a unit — building lasting friendships and gaining valuable experience on and off the mat.
