Our Purpose

The purpose of the Steel Valley Renegades Wrestling Club is to provide wrestlers of all ages, genders, and skill levels the opportunity to train, learn, improve, compete, and win at the youth, high school, state, national, college, international, and Olympic levels of competition. We train in folkstyle, greco-roman, and freestyle wrestling.

As a natural extension to our wrestling classes, we also offer a wide range of related classes such as Tumbling, MMA, Sports Performance, Strength Training, and more.

We were looking for somewhere to bring our brand new wrestler. This was not an easy thing to find. We were referred to Steel Valley. We work with Coach Todd, who has gone above and beyond to ensure our novice needs were met. He is patient and holds our kids accountable to their sessions. Being a business owner (with high expectations of athlete training) and parent of a kid new to organized sports and structure, Coach Todd eased my anxieties. He ensures that he works with the kids to not only learn the foundation of wrestling but common life skills such as waiting your turn and paying attention (which is no easy feat for training 5 and 6 year old boys!)

We have been sending our son since the end of Summer and the mental and physical changes in such a short time are astounding. The programs and classes offered are great and the coaches are even better. Best decision we’ve made was becoming part of the Steel family.

I found Steel Valley Renegades for my 8-year-old son on June 1,2021. My son had 2 prior years wrestling experience with a very long year-and-a-half off due to COVID. Coach Todd and Coach Christian run the beginner intermediate program and they are so invested in the success of these kids. Coach Todd works the kids hard but when he sees the kids are struggling to finish he starts doing the work with them. This wrestling club has changed my son as a person and for the better. The work is hard but so rewarding. This club has given my son the drive to keep wanting to go back even though he knows it will be difficult. It has given him the opportunity to push himself further then he has ever been physically pushed and he is like a different child because of it. His love of wrestling has increased tremendously, and every day he tells me he wants to go back I feel so proud. I highly recommend Steel Valley Renegades!

We have done several duals with Steel Valley Renegades, Dan does a great job giving so many kids the opportunity to wrestle. His efforts are very much appreciated.

YT is one of the best coaches around. Both my kids love him and I trust him with my kids. My son and daughter are both young and learn nothing but respect from him. Great club and great coaching. We have been to Red Hawks, Dark knights, Buxton, ect and this club with the coaching is one of the best. Iron sharpens Iron at this club all the way. This club has had hammers from other states come to Friday night live, that says a lot right there.
