Our Mission
Chesty Lions Wrestling Club exists to develop young athletes through the sport of wrestling — building discipline, resilience, and character that extends far beyond competition.
We are committed to providing a safe, structured, and high-energy environment where wrestlers of all experience levels can grow. Whether a child is stepping on the mat for the first time or preparing for state-level competition, CLWC meets them where they are and pushes them further.
"Building champions on and off the mat."

What We Stand For
Discipline
We teach wrestlers to show up, work hard, and hold themselves accountable — habits that build success in every area of life.
Team First
Wrestling is an individual sport, but CLWC is a team. We win together, lose together, and grow together.
Excellence
We set high standards and pursue them relentlessly — in technique, conditioning, sportsmanship, and attitude.
Community
Rooted in Lawrence, KS, we are proud to represent our city and give back to the families and schools that support us.
Our Story
Chesty Lions Wrestling Club was founded in Lawrence, Kansas with a simple goal: give young wrestlers in the area a serious, coach-led program to develop their skills year-round.
Under the leadership of Director Patrick Naughton, the club has grown into one of the area's most respected youth wrestling programs. We practice out of Lawrence High West Gym and compete across Kansas and the region throughout the season.
Our athletes have gone on to compete at the high school, collegiate, and national levels — a testament to the foundation built here at CLWC.
