Wrestling Classes

4:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Practice Sessions

Tumble & Roll

Tumble & Roll

We offer four different class levels to ensure that the appropriate age-level technique is being offered for participants. Occasionally, we will combine Jr. Elite and Elite team members depending on the volume of participation. We may also bump younger athletes up to more advanced classes if their size and skill level indicate that they can perform successfully in that environment. The Tumble & Roll class teaches young kids wrestling skills and how to compete but is not a competitive team. Wrestlers in the 5 to 6-year-old range would need to join SQUAD and attend Tiny Beasts sessions if interested in competing.

We strive to not only build great wrestlers but also productive members of our community.

History

The newly formed Benicia Wrestling Association was created to support all wrestling in the Solano, Napa, Sac Joaquin and Contra Costa areas and beyond. Although the association was established in 2023, the roots of the program and contributions by its coaches extend back to 2010. Learn More....

DISCLAIMER:

This is not the official site of The Benicia Unified School District, Benicia Middle School or Benicia High School. The Benicia Wrestling Association is a non-profit 501c3 organization that supports two K-12 wrestling clubs located in the Benicia area. This site and the Benicia Wrestling Association are in no way affiliated with New Creations Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu.

History

The Benicia Middle School and Club program began during the 2009-2010 school year after a five-year stint of inactivity. Coaches Japheth Aquino and Dominic Boutain started the program up again by becoming Co-Head Coaches at Benicia Middle School. In a short time, the coaches produced quality wrestlers.


They wanted to expose young wrestlers to as many matches and tournaments as possible to help develop their skills. Each time the wrestlers hit the mats, first and foremost was their focus on improving technique. With this focus, the wins come naturally as the season progresses and wrestlers improve. In its first year, the Benicia Middle School team’s 7th and 8th graders took first place in the Mt. Diablo Middle School Wrestling League. In the 2010-2011 season, the 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade wrestlers swept the league, all taking first place. Coach Aquino and Coach Boutain’s effective coaching and a strong desire to pass on their knowledge combined with excellent volunteer staff and family support, has managed to do what most programs take years to accomplish. Later during the 2010-2011 season, the coaches took more than 15 wrestlers to the California State Middle School Championships in Fresno and returned with three State Champions, one silver medal finisher, and two bronze medal finishers.



The surmounting success of Benicia Wrestling is attributed to a long list of dedicated Coaches including Jay Aquino, Dominic Boutain, Brandon Smith, JeJe "Jesus" Ramos, Rich Goodwin, Phillip Rocha, Keith Berndt, Bobby Gonzalez, Jesus Ramirez, Mauricio Wright, Christian Ramos, Mason Boutain, Ryley Boutain, Greg Papish, Joshua Barretto, Alyssa Gonzalez, Jason Oches and more.


In 2023, several coaches, parent supporters and community leaders came together to formalize the organization and solidify its future in the community. The byproduct is the Benicia Wrestling Association, which is dedicated to making the entire North Coast Section more competitive and united.
