ABOUT MID-VALLEY
The Mid-Valley Wolves Wrestling Club has a rich history of wrestling greatness. Founded in 1986 by Scott Williams and Eric Wade, later expanded by Mike and Lorie Brock, the Wolves have produced some of the most successful wrestlers in the Mat-Su valley, including Scott Jorgensen, Jesse Brock and the Wade brothers (Jack, James, Jake and Jed). Our athletes have gone on to earn multiple high school state championships and become NCAA Division I wrestlers and a UFC veteran.

At our club we teach Traditional Freestyle, Greco & Folkstyle Wrestling. Each of our athletes learn strong basic wrestling skills and techniques and are given the opportunity to develop into an elite-level wrestler.
A clean, hard-fought wrestling match is the most honest of athletic contests. There is no technological interventions, no teammates to blame, no panel of judges to bias the score. In wrestling, you compete or you quit.
No alibis. I like that."

​-Dan Gable
Matched by age, weight and ability, our athletes compete in full contact wrestling. Win or lose, our coaches will continue to provide encouragement and guidance throughout the season.

The Mid-Valley Wolves Wrestling Club wants its athletes to have fun and develop friendships while learning the oldest of organized sports. We believe wrestling is the ultimate challenge in youth sports and offers the most rewarding benefits to its athletes:

Commitment, Dedication and Integrity.

"Unless you continually work, evolve, and innovate, you'll learn a quick and painful lesson from someone who has."
- Cael Sanderson

 
COACH EKLE
Jade Ekle began his wrestling career at Palmer Middle School beginning in 7th grade and by 8th grade he had already become the number one wrestler in the State of Alaska.   Jade then moved on to be a huge asset to Palmer High School’s 4 years of dominance as a four year varsity wrestler and team captain during their most dominate years of 1996-99.  During Coach Ekle's high school years, Palmer High school was ranked in the top 15 of all high schools in the nation.  As a freshman Jade played a key role in Palmer’s first Team State Championship season.  The next 3 years Palmer high school was the most dominate team in the state of Alaska under the coaching of Iowa Hawkeye’s and NCAA Division I runner up Lenny Zalesky. Lenny was coached by the legendary Dan Gable and his brother Jim Zalesky was the head coach for the Iowa Hawkeye's from 1998-2006. With having such a phenomenal mentor and coach, Jade had the ability to attend numerous Hawkeye wrestling camps with inspiring legends such as the Brands brothers, Joe Williams, Daryl Weber, and Mark Ironside. Jade also had the opportunity to qualify to wrestle two years at the Nation’s Toughest Tournament of Champions in Reno and finished with a very strong winning record nationally.  Jade was a high level attack style wrestler, region champion and state placer for several years at Palmer High School.  Jade Ekle moved on to use the strong work ethic he established through the sport of wrestling to motivate and inspire him to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy and is now the owner of the highly successful JADED Body Wellness & Spine Institute.  Jade Ekle is a very dedicated Coach of the oldest wrestling team in the valley and he pours his heart and soul into the development of an elite wrestling program.
