About Us
The Virginia Slaughter House Club is located in Smithfield, VA. Our membership is open to kids from all areas of Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hampton, Chesapeake, Newport News, and beyond). Our primary goal is to teach sound wrestling skills, while emphasizing respect, good sportsmanship, character, and class.
We generally practice 2-4 days a week depending on grade, group, and skill and encourage our young wrestlers to compete in local, regional, state and some national events regularly throughout the season. Our practices consist of an intense physical workout, extensive drilling, and live wrestling.
Our goal is to build one of the most competitive youth clubs in the state. This will be done through discipline, dedication, and perseverance from the wrestlers, coaches, and parents. Respect, honesty, integrity and good sportsmanship are a must for all wrestlers. We strive to build champions on and off the mat. There is a zero tolerance policy for bad sportsmanship. It will not be tolerated. It was said best by Dan Gable “once you have wrestled everything else in life is easy”.
