About the Crown City Wrestling Club
The club was formed by Clint Morse and Corby Reynolds last year in order to give wrestlers from around the Crown City area a place to continue learning and enhancing their skills in the off-season.
The club holds practices at the old Parker Elementary school in Cortland. The club practices on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6pm-7:45pm for grades 7-12, and Wednesdays from 6pm-7:30pm for youth wrestlers.
“The club has grown to around 80 members this year and has gotten a lot of notice within the sport throughout New York and Pennsylvania,” said coach Morse. “We look to produce many podium wrestlers during the regular season, by enhancing their skills in the off-season. Off-season work produces Champions during the season.”
