ABOUT US

Our Mission

To provide a safe environment for youth to engage with each other and caring adults while promoting youth wrestling in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Christian County and surrounding areas. Additionally, to instill a spirit of discipline, sportsmanship, competitiveness, and personal responsibility in local youth.

Who is wrestling for?

Open to all

We strive to provide a safe, inclusive environment where every person, regardless of skill level, gender, race, ethnic background, religious beliefs, or physical abilities will be accepted and appreciated. Wrestling is fun, but it is also a difficult sport; any person willing to come to practice and do the work will earn, and be shown, the proper respect. We are excited to welcome all to our community.

Is wrestling worth it?

Why should your kid try wrestling?

There are a lot of activities your kid could be doing, so why would you bother with wrestling? Here's a few reasons we think your child can benefit from wrestling:

  • It builds self-confidence
  • It teaches discipline and hard work
  • It develops physical strength and coordination
  • It creates lifelong friendships
  • It's an individual sport with team support

ABOUT US

Our Story

In the Fall of 2023 Michael McAllister and his son, Bobby Dean, pulled an old box from a bedroom closet. The box contained a couple of trophies, an old pair of wrestling shoes, and some headgear.
“What’s that?” Bobby Dean asked his dad.
“That’s my old wrestling stuff.” Michael replied.
“Can I wrestle too?” Asked Bobby Dean.
“Yes, of course, I would love for you to wrestle.”
“Dad, will you teach me to wrestle?”
“Absolutely Bub.”


This interaction between father and son sparked the journey that led to the founding of MC Wrestling INC. Michael’s passion for the sport of wrestling reignited. The search was on for a local club where Bobby Dean could learn the sport that gave his father so much joy and shaped the man he would become. Unfortunately, no such club existed in Christian County, Kentucky.
Despite having successful wrestling programs at Christian County High School and Hopkinsville High School, opportunities for youth to get involved in the sport are extremely limited. The limitations are even greater for homeschooled, private schooled, and virtual learning students, who won’t have the opportunity to participate in the high school programs. Michael could coach Bobby Dean on his own, and travel to open competitions, but that would continue to leave the rest of Christian County youth with few options to participate in wrestling. Michael and his wife, Chelsey, decided there was only one thing they could do, begin a wrestling club open to all the youth of our local community.
This community-centered attitude led Michael and Chelsey to found MC Wrestling INC as non-profit organization and obtain 501(c)3 tax exempt status. They gathered a dedicated group of individuals from the local community, passionate about the mission, to serve as volunteer board members and oversee the club activity. They began building relationships with wrestling coaches and programs in the surrounding areas, while organizing fundraisers in order to get our club off the ground. There is still a great deal to accomplish before the club enters into their first season in the Fall of 2024, but Michael, Chelsey, and everyone involved is committed to completing the necessary work.
And Bobby Dean is “too excited” to finally wrestle with his dad.
