What is the Bay Area Youth Wrestling League?

The Bay Area Youth Wrestling League (BAYWL) provides beginner-friendly competition for young wrestlers across the region. Designed for athletes with two years or less of experience, BAYWL offers a fun and supportive environment where new wrestlers can gain valuable match experience.

Participants should have a basic understanding of scoring and rules, demonstrate good sportsmanship, and show a willingness to actively engage in matches. BAYWL matches follow a 1-1-1 format (three one-minute periods), with a focus on encouragement, development, and fun—not pressure or intimidation.

If you're looking for the right place to gain experience and build confidence, BAYWL is the perfect starting point.
