Yale Wrestling is Co-Ed Club Team. We are a competitive team with members of all levels of experience, from beginners to veteran wrestlers. We compete with other club programs under the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA). From December to March we typically compete in 1-2 home matches and 4-5 away matches culminating in our regional and national tournaments.
Both our men and women are highly dedicated wrestlers and competitively successful. However, participating in competition is not a requirement to join practices and workouts with the team. Yale wrestling is also open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
Yale’s wrestling team is the nation’s oldest collegiate wrestling team. We are proud to count notable alumni such as William Howard Taft, class of 1878 and 27th President of the U.S., and George Stuart Dole, class of 1906 and Yale’s first ever Olympic Gold Medalist, who competed in Freestyle Wrestling at the 1908 London Olympics.
