What is the difference between RTC Club and RTC Elite?
For Middle School athletes with some prior wrestling experience, RTC Club will help develop their wrestling technique and expose them to other areas of our sport. The High School athletes are encouraged to register for RTC Elite, but may also register for RTC Club.
*** Please Note: Middle School athletes without previous wrestling experience may be asked to attend practice with the Misfits for one season prior to joining the RTC Club level.
----> Register as RTC Elite for competitions & extra coaching!!
If your athlete is planning to compete in tournaments or dual meets during the club season(s), then sign up for RTC Elite. The coaching staff will be spending more time with these athletes as they help them prepare and travel with them to competitions.

Parent Volunteers
Help make the North Valley RTC one of the top clubs in Arizona!
The participation of parents is vital to youth sports. To help our young athletes reach their full potential, we need parents and community members to get involved with wrestling. No wrestling experience is necessary to volunteer, just a willingness to help our kids develop a love for the sport, and to have fun.
If you are interested in coaching at the youth level please contact one of our Coaches or Club Administrators to find out how you may be able to help.
- Parents without previous coaching experience in AZ may be asked to wait one season before coaching with the NV RTC staff.
- Volunteers and volunteer coaches will be required to obtain a USAW 'Wrestling Leadership' card prior to coaching at any practice or tournament. The membership application will include a background check and a 'Safe Sport Training' class.
Disclaimer
The North Valley RTC will not turn anyone away for financial reasons. Please contact us if you need to discuss a potential option for your child's participation fees.
