We visited Slate during a training day and it was so amazing and thorough. The coaches are right on top of the wrestlers correcting technique and encouraging growth.

Best club around the Dallas area. high intensity training, amazing coaches, great club overall.

I wasn’t going to leave a review on this place until I received another fake profile message today about my son currently wrestling at the life u tournament today saying “he lost his first match this is why he isn’t on our team, he sucks.” Treating a kid bad says everything about this place character.

I wasn’t going to leave a review on this place until I received another fake profile message today about my son currently wrestling at the life u tournament today saying “he lost his first match this is why he isn’t on our team, he sucks.” Treating a kid bad says everything about this place character. I wouldn’t recommend this gym to anyone. This is not a welcoming gym. Unless you want to receive multiple texts from (fake profiles) other parents asking you and your child not to come back. I hope no one has to deal with this after spending $500 on apparel. I could say a lot more with messages to back it up but I’m going to keep my mouth shut for now. Pretty toxic environment point blank. Don’t recommend. Less

Really good coach 5 stars

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

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!

Ethan Slate is a remarkable coach. Coach Slate pours his heart and soul into his business and into the kids he is working with.

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
