Learn about our Private Wrestling Academy
The Wrestling Coach Academy (TWCA) is a private wrestling academy specializing in personal instruction and high performance outcomes. We start with character development and focus on building athleticism from the ground up. TWCA prioritizes foundational body control so kids can safely and confidently complete moves and techniques. Our Academy programs strive to be different than the typical wrestling club. In the traditional large group environment, you will find massive practices with one coach to tons of kids, which makes it hard for students to pay attention to details. At TWCA, we provide a caring and positive environment and 90% of our practices are concentrated in small group training with 16 or less kids in training.
We are invested in the progress of each student we bring into the sport. With 25 years of professional coaching experience, we train every level of student-athlete; the first day 4-year-old is as welcome as a UFC or Olympic star. It is important to us that your athlete has a positive experience and becomes a self-directed young adult. We have a proven track record of our athletes exceeding their long term athletic and academic goals.
The Wrestling Coach Academy currently hosts programs in Boonton, Butler, and Morristown, New Jersey.
Club coordinators will help place your wrestler’s in the correct program and work with you to find an open class time or add you to the waitlist.

Read below to find out what separates us from other youth sports and wrestling clubs. We are a Private Academy.
Coach Jeff has trained, mentored and been there to guide wrestlers from their first day in his wrestling practices to the day they got accepted to college and even beyond. As a result, many of our NCAA level athletes return to train with us in the summer. Of the 2021 graduates from our program they had a 100% college placement rate, and will be attending D1 Wrestling programs as preferred varsity recruits at the University of Virginia, LIU, and the University of Michigan. Because of our attention to individuals, recent graduates are competing for and attending; John Hopkins, Northwestern, North Carolina, Franklin and Marshall, Arizona State, NYU, LIU Post, Rhode Island College, Stevens Institute, and more. We are different because we have a passion for instilling dreams and helping to make them reality. It is our goal to positively shape the future of your child’s life.
Due to the small 12:1 student to coach ratio in our programs, now is the best time for a wrestler to begin their career. Special attention is paid to their development and progress throughout the season. While making sure the atmosphere is always upbeat and fun, our program focuses on getting your child enthralled in the sport and loving the self confidence it brings. If they choose to advance levels we can take them from Day 1 to NCAA.
In 2020 we designed and opened a facility in Butler, New Jersey right next to Bloomingdale that caters to small groups with an ultra high level of attention. Our largest practice group is typically 12 kids, with occasional practices sizes of 15-20 for our “club” style practice with more drilling and live. We focus on learning in a small group setting. We offer one on one private lessons, weekend camps, and daily training of small groups. Family discounts are available. Please note each weekend camp is limited to 12 participants. Once full we maintain a waiting list.

It is refreshing to conquer new challenges outside of the academic and social groups that often shape our children’s lives during the school year. Therefore kids feel a sense of accomplishment every day during our wrestling practices. The result of learning new skills is increased confidence in your child, and our program is built with this focus in mind. Consequently, the wrestling program instills in your child personal confidence, high self esteem, motor skills, and social skills. These are all designed to help build confidence in their physical fitness and reach excellent long term outcomes.
