Wrestling

Deerfield varsity poses with 16 x conference champ and sate trophies

Sport Overview

Deerfield Wrestling is a competitive and inclusive winter sport program representing Deerfield with pride and tradition. We offer teams for both boys and girls, welcoming athletes of all experience levels, no prior wrestling experience is needed. Our coaching staff is dedicated to training champions not just on the mat, but in life.

Our boys program features freshman, JV, and varsity teams and has established itself as a powerhouse, winning 16 conference championships in the last 17 years and placing top 4 in the state three times. Our girls varsity team is one of the fastest-growing programs and is improving every year and blazing a trail for future champions.

At Deerfield Wrestling, we live by the motto:
"Champions before Championships."
We don’t embrace the Deerfield Wrestling style because it’s easy, we do it because it’s hard. And when others stop, we push for “One More,” knowing that greatness requires just a little more effort.
