The Dexter Dreads program aims to serve as a stepping stone between Little League and higher-level travel teams, offering a unique "travel lite" experience. Our primary objective is to keep our boys together while encouraging those who desire a more dedicated commitment and developmental experience beyond a traditional house league, such as Little League. However, we understand the importance of balancing these aspirations with the practicalities of time and financial constraints associated with higher-level programs. Thus, our program is designed to minimize extensive travel and expenses typically associated with traditional higher-level teams. 2027 Tryouts: 11U, 12U & 13U - Monday, July 27 Wednesday, July 29 6:30pm-8pm at Creekside Quad Field #4 9U & 10U - Tuesday, July 28 6:30pm-8pm at Creekside Quad Field #4 If you cannot make the tryout date please email the coach directly for a semi-private tryout 13u: Trevor Brewster - trevor.brewster@gmail.com 12u: Bill Logan - loganboy427@gmail.com 11u: Kevin Cislo - kevin.cislo@gmail.com 10u: Steve Singer - stevensinger5865@gmail.com 9u: Chuck Hopkins (chuckhopkins@hotmail.com) & Steven Pontoni (svpontoni@gmail.com) Please refer to the USSSA Age Calculator to find your player's division for 2027. 9U: Players born on or after May 1, 2017. 10U: Players born on or after May 1, 2016. 11U: Players born on or after May 1, 2015. 12U: Players born on or after May 1, 2014. 13U: Players born on or after May 1, 2013.

Dexter Wrestling Club (DWC) is open to students in Young 5's through 8th grade and is designed to help wrestlers grow in the sport, whether they are just getting started or have years of experience. Session 1: November–December Session 2: January–February Session 3: March Choose Your Registration Group Beginner Wrestling - Designed for new wrestlers and those continuing to build their fundamental skills. After registration, wrestlers will be placed into either the Gold or Maroon Groups based on their age, size, and experience to create the safest and most appropriate training environment. The Gold Group (Y5 to 4th) is typically the entry point for our youngest wrestlers. The primary focus is on introducing the sport through body mechanics, tumbling, stance, takedowns, and top/bottom positioning. The Maroon Group (3rd to 6th) is intended for wrestlers who have mastered the basics and are ready to continue developing their technique through more advanced instruction and live situational drilling. Older wrestlers with limited or no experience are welcome. Practices: Mondays & Wednesdays Times: Gold, 6pm-7pm; Maroon, 7:15pm-8:15pm Participation in competitive tournaments is optional for both groups, but encouraged for Maroon wrestlers. Advanced Wrestling (Black Group) - Designed for experienced wrestlers (typically with two or more seasons of experience) who have committed to wrestling as a primary sport and are looking for a competitive training environment. The Advanced Group will show as FULL during registration. This is intentional. All wrestlers interested in the Advanced Group must join the waitlist so DWC coaches can review each wrestler's age, size, and experience and confirm that the Advanced Group is the appropriate placement. Practices: Tuesdays & Thursdays Times: 6pm - 8pm Training focuses on advanced technique, conditioning, strategy, and preparing for competition. Participation in competitive tournaments is expected. Note: 7th and 8th grade wrestlers are only eligible for the Advanced Group and will receive priority registration.
