Down to business coaching with good hard drilling 👍

Today would’ve been my third or fourth time showing up to one of swa’s practices, but I definitely noticed that the environment felt less judgmental than when I first came. It makes me actually eager to come back rather than being scared to/intimidated like the first few times.... More

Coach Slate is an amazing coach! He brought a group to Virginia Beach and boys wrestled great and he had a great message the entire weekend.

Great website

I recently began bringing my son here and, as expected, he has taken a liking to it. Coach Slate is a truly exceptional coach. I look forward to observing my son's development under his expert guidance.... More

Coach Slate and his staff are all amazing! We found them through an ad this past fall and were super excited to become members. My son has only been going for a few months now but has already come so far. Coach Slate is patient but disciplined (something that is now missing in most sports now days). He is very detail oriented and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure EVERY wrestler understands the skills and techniques and gets mat time. I also have noticed great community within the parents. I was nervous going in but so far, all of the parents and staff are super welcoming. I look forward to getting to know them more as we have become part of the SWA family. Would recommend SWA to ALL. Less

So thankful for everyone at Slate Wrestling. As it’s new to us, they have helped us the whole way. Thanks!

SWA is the perfect place for both beginner and experienced wrestlers. Coach Slate is great with the kids, dedicated to helping them reach their goals, and encourages them to reach their full potential. A warm, welcoming atmosphere and the location is in a great central spot! 10/10 would recommend!... More

Ethan Slate is a remarkable coach. Coach Slate pours his heart and soul into his business and into the kids he is working with. There has never been a time when we asked for help with something on the mat, that he didn’t immediately take on. We are in awe of both his dedication and expertise.

There has never been a time when we asked for help with something on the mat, that he didn’t immediately take on. We are in awe of both his dedication and expertise. He has helped grow my kids on the wrestling mat and in the weight room, and expanded their love for both. All my kids train with Coach Slate and we encourage anyone who wants to better their kid on the wresting mat (or any sport, really) to check him out. We have been with him since his doors opened this summer and it has been the best experience and training we could have asked for. Less

I coach a youth wrestling program for the rec department and recommend all of my parents to send their kids to SWA! The attention to detail provided will take your child from placing 3 or 4 to going to the finals. The level of professionalism and caring for your wrestlers is unmatched!

If it were easy everyone would do it. That's the message my father instilled in me as a child and that's what I'm trying to instill in my son Eddie (age 6).

Coach Slate is pushing Ryan to his maximum potential and Ryan is already seeing the benefits.
