Note: Athletes who are 10 and under are encouraged to register with a friend who is roughly the same size as they are.The Antigonish Wrestling Club is committed to growing the sport of freestyle wrestling in Antigonish and throughout the Highland Region. Our coaches provide a positive and inclusive environment for athletes of all ability levels and experience. Our club supports athletes in competing in club tournaments run by Wrestling Nova Scotia and Wrestling Canada. We also support junior school and high school athletes in competing in School Sport Nova Scotia-sanctioned events. For the 2025-26 season, we will be supporting athletes from St. Andrew Junior School, École acadienne de Pomquet, and Dr. John Hugh Gillies Regional High School. If you are interested in joining the club and attend a junior school or high school that is not listed, please let us know ASAP so that we can approach your school.For insurance purposes, all athletes training with our club are required to be registered members of Wrestling Nova Scotia. Wrestling Nova Scotia memberships run from January 1 to December 31 of each year. If you were a club member last year, your WNS registration is still valid. If you are new to the club, please register as a non-competitive athlete (this is the cheapest option, and new wrestlers will not be competing until January). All club members will need to register with WNS for 2026 before we get back on the mats in January.Practice Times and Locations:Please note that practices begin on Thursdays, October 2.Tuesdays 6:00-7:30pm École acadienne de Pomquet gym - All age groupsThursdays 3:00-4:15pm Amelia Saputo Centre combat room (2nd floor) - 12 and under onlySaturdays 9:00-10:30am École acadienne de Pomquet gym - All age groupsClub Fee:A club fee of $60 will be charged for each of our three terms (1 - Oct-Dec; 2 - Jan-Feb; 3 - Mar-Apr).
