Wrestling
Thank you for your interest in being part of the Middle School Wrestling Program. We are thrilled to offer this exciting opportunity and for students to get the chance to begin their VUSD wrestling journey.
This is our third year of a collaborative program uniting all of our middle schools into one team, allowing us to compete with neighboring districts. Wrestling offers a unique experience, teaching valuable life skills such as teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership. We look forward to working with our students to develop these important skills.
We are pleased to announce that James Peters, our Middle School Head Coach, will be leading the team. Coach Peters currently serves as the girls’ wrestling coach at Ventura High School. He is also a youth wrestling coach with Beat the Streets in the City of Oxnard and a youth coach for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We are excited to have him lead our wrestling program. Mandatory parent meeting will be held at DATA in the Spring.
Sincerely, Karly Walker (AMS Athletic Director)
Go Islanders!
