The Baker Mat Club mission is to build character, confidence, and achievement through wrestling. We will promote wrestling as an individual sport that relies on teamwork for success. BMC’s competition goal is to develop wrestling skills that will enable wrestlers to compete in high school and college.

2024 Updates

Registration is $80 with a cap of $160 per family for October through December.  Please bring a check made out to Baker Mat Club, or cash.  $5 of every registration will go to Abel's Army.  Abel Bain and the rest of his family are a big part of our wrestling family here at Baker Mat Club.  Abel was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and is undergoing treatment for the next few months.  It is difficult for his family to be away from their work when he is going through his therapy.  Thank you for supporting Abel!  Abel's Army will go on the sleeve of the t-shirts.
We are also looking for sponsors to go on the back of all of our club t-shirts.  A sponsorship is $200.  We are a 501 C3 Non-Profit, so it is tax deductible as well!  Thank you for your support!
Updated ORWAY Schedule for 2024 and the flyer for wrestling camp on Oct. 19th & 20th will be in the High School Wrestling Room.  Baker Mat Club will cover $100 of the cost for any Baker Mat Club Member as well as any Baker High School/Middle School Wrestlers interested in attending.  The remaining $129 would be paid by the wrestler's family.  The Clinician is Coach Marc Sprague from USA Cobra.  He is a wrestling legend as far as coaches go and puts on a great camp!  You may register online through cobrawrestlingsystems.com and you can also pay at the door on the 19th. Let's Get Vertical!!!
Baker Mat Club and the YMCA are coordinating efforts together and combining programs.  Everything will be run through the Mat Club this year with the assistance of the Y.  Right now we are working on other possible practice locations and will have updates within the next few weeks!  With the Mat Club and the Y working together we can build our wrestling program into a powerhouse!
First practice will take place Monday Oct. 21st from 5-6:30pm.  Practice schedules generally run on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays for ages 7-15.  6 and under are usually Tuesday and Thursday from 5-6pm.  This will be subject to change depending on club numbers and practice location.
Coaches for each age division: 
  • 5-6 Brad Lindsay, Colton Smith

Coaches registration is about $30 and is good for two seasons, but you still have to get a new card every year. Please contact Brandon Young if you are interested in getting certified to coach for Baker Mat Club.
