The HiFlyer wrestling program is entering its 26th season and has developed into the premiere kids’ wrestling program in the state. The HiFlyer club is considered by many to have the best coaching staff in the Nation. The staff works with the kids at all practices and then coaches and monitors their progress at weekend competitions.
