Our Story & Mission

Founded by United World Wrestling World Cup Champion Nate Jackson, Varsity School of Wrestling is built on the belief that wrestling is the ultimate vehicle for teaching life lessons. Located in Central New Jersey, Varsity is a developmental program for K-12 wrestlers. This school provides a structured environment for wrestlers to develop through technical instruction, practice, and competition.

We partner with parents to help young athletes build world-class character, high-performance habits, and the resilience needed to succeed on and off the competition mat.

The Varsity Standard

As parents, we all want a training environment that challenges our children while reinforcing the values we teach at home. At Varsity, we combine top-tier athletic training with an environment rooted in faith, communication, and shared growth.
