NAEW hosting Battle of Athens 2022 in memory of Henry L. Schwan, III
Saturday, January 22, 2022 we will be hosting our annual home tournament within the AYWO-AAU Gladiator series in loving memory of Henry L. Schwan III. Henry and his wife Laverne have been an integral part of wrestling in Athens for over 30 years with their sons and now their grandchildren. Henry loved wrestling and was always willing to help in any way he could. We hope he smiles down on our tournament dedication, and the love and fond memories we share will bring a little extra comfort to his family.

NAEW hosting GrindHouse Clinic Oct 16-17

Both are NCAA Division 1 All Americans, and have a wealth of coaching experience from the youth level up to college. This is an excellent opportunity for wrestlers to shake off the rust and learn some new technique before the new season! The cost is only $100 per wrestler, with sibling discounts offered, and includes lunch on Saturday. To register, please submit payment, including your wrestler's full name in notes, through Paypal (naelitewrestling@gmail.com) or Venmo (@naelitewrestling), and bring a signed waiver/emergency contact form at the link below.

NAEW at Iron Sharpens Iron!
NAEW teamed up with Florence Youth Wrestling and Athens High School Wrestling to take a group of 25 wrestlers to Iowa this summer! These wrestlers completed five grueling days of drilling, live competition and some great team bonding via the Team Olympics. Our high schoolers finished 4th in Team Olympics and 5th in Duals, middle school finished 3rd in Team Olympics and 3rd in Duals, and youth finished 1st in Team Olympics and 2nd in Duals. As they say, summer wrestling makes winter champions!
