Level up within Rising Kingz
Goal setting is a key component within our club, we also love celebrating different steps we take while climbing the ladder of success. We believe that internal competition and incentives help push wrestlers even closer to their goals!
​
Here are a few incentives wrestlers can earn within the club by achieving different goals; Gold "Elite Team" singlet, district and state championship brackets on the wall, state placer plaques on the wall, national placer plaques on the wall, and massive banners hung for state champions and World of Wrestling National Champions.
​
We are insanely goal oriented, despite being very proud of what we've done, we are always looking towards the future!
​
Here are just a few of our goals for the future....
​
