Our Mission

Our Mission:

To level the playing field and provide wrestlers in the East Valley opportunities to be successful and further their wrestling skills while at the same time developing skills (discipline, accountability ,humility) that will help them to become productive members of society . 


Mat Monsters wrestling club is dedicated to the development of youth wrestlers in the East Valley. Whether it’s our LITTLE MONSTERS youth program (8th grade and under ) or our Jr high/high school Black and Green teams , our experienced club coaches will help you or your child elevate their wrestling game. In addition, our Mat Monsters Black team (intermediate-advanced 9th grade and up) will be given the opportunity to wrestle with and learn from current college wrestlers or what we refer to as our “Athlete Coaches”in order to give them a feel of what the next level of wrestling is like . 


Mat Monsters Wrestling club is a combination of Mesa, Basha and Mesquite High School wrestling programs joining together as a coalition because we share the same vision and goal, which is to give every wrestler that steps into our programs' the best opportunity to be successful. What this means for you or your child is that our room will have plenty of wrestlers ranging in experience, age, and weight to train with . Please check our weekly schedule as we will rotate our practice locations between two locations, Mesa and Mesquite High Schools.
