Upper Merion Township

The Upper Merion Youth Wrestling Association (UMYWA) is a non-profit organization, which has been in existence for over 40 years. The wrestling club was formed with the purpose of introducing our communities youth into the sport of wrestling. Over the years, the club has inspired many of its club members to continue to pursue the sport of wrestling throughout high school and beyond.

Good Sportmanship - Is promoted on the part of the athletes, parents, and coaches. Have Fun - We strive to make it an enjoyable environment, as we work to balance the learning experience at the same time.
