WRESTLING SEASON IS HERE!

At Sanderson, winter is prime time for wrestling! The high school and college folkstyle seasons are under way, and it’s also our premier winter youth folkstyle season: Northside Wrestling Club. First begun under legendary coach Steve Sanderson, for decades Northside Wrestling Club (“North Side”) was the club in which South Davis County wrestlers honed their wrestling skills. Launched in the winter 2023-2024 season, local wrestlers once again were able to sport the name “Northside” as Sanderson wrestlers as they train with other top local talent in the Sanderson system and compete through the winter youth Folkstyle season.
