ABOUT US
Overtime Wrestling Academy was built on one idea: every wrestler deserves a place to grow, on the mat and off it. From first-timers to state qualifiers, we train every age and every skill level with coaches who've competed at the highest levels themselves.

THREE PERIODS.
ONE PHILOSOPHY.
Fundamentals, executed right, every single time.
The mental and physical grit to keep going when it's hard.
The discipline and confidence that outlast the mat — and show up everywhere else.
A wrestling match is three periods. Six minutes. Every second of it counts.
There's no time to coast; not in period one, not in period three. That's the standard we build to. At Overtime, we develop wrestlers three periods deep:
We're not training wrestlers for six minutes. We're building people for the long run.
Overtime Wrestling Academy is for everybody. Every age, every background, every starting point, there's a place for you here. But we're not a drop-in gym. We're a team. We ask for the same thing we teach: show up, put in the work, and show up for each other. In return, you get more than coaching. You get a community that's in your corner, period after period, season after season.
