It is amazing to see what God has done with the wrestling Program at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy over the past thirty years. This program has truly been blessed by God and it is to Him that we give all of the glory for anything that is accomplished on or off of the mat! CVCA Wrestling started with a vision by a great man and has continued on to influence the lives of hundreds of young student-athletes. With many top finishes at the state tournament in the past thirty years, God is still doing amazing things at CVCA!
With the addition of Royals Fieldhouse in 2020, CVCA has completed construction on a brand new state of the art wrestling room. The new wrestling room is over 3,000 square feet and equipped with new wrestling mats, lockers, a coaches office, and 4K Smart TV.

CVCA’s Wrestling Program is dedicated to developing Christ-like character and giving our best to advance His Kingdom through the sport. We strive to promote working together in oneness to conquer fears, overcome obstacles, look for lessons and motivation in loss and for humility and opportunity in victory, and to honorably represent our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are unapologetic that we strive to win…but winning is not the priority. The pursuit of excellence through daily commitment creates an environment of Competitive Excellence. Winning becomes a by-product of this pursuit and not the end goal.
Athletics is a powerful ministry tool. We encourage athletes, parents, and coaches to view their abilities and roles as gifts from God and to seek out ways in which they can minister to others through their participation.
