About Us

Established in March of 2023 Benicia Wrestling Association was created to support all wrestling in the Solano, Napa, Sac Joaquin, Contra Costa areas, and beyond. The roots of the program and contributions by its coaches extend back to the early 90s.

Founder and President, Mauricio Wright sought out a means to concretize the long-standing efforts made by several generations of coaches. “It’s important that athletes and their families always have something to come back to”, says Wright. We want this community of former and current wrestlers to always feel confident that they can reach out to each other. It’s also just as important that our surrounding community feels just as confident in relying on us to contribute our time and energy when needed.
