The Wall Knights Wrestling Club encourages parents that are interested in coaching to assist with the program. In most youth wrestling programs you will find a coaching staff that has experienced wrestlers that run the practice and act as clinicians as well as athletic parents with limited wrestling experience that help ensure that wrestlers are properly performing techniques that coaches had demonstrated. Do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to coach as we appreciate any assistance in developing young wrestlers. If you have any questions about the volunteer coaching process please email Frank Kuhl at

OUR COACHES NEED THE FOLLOWING
BACKGROUND CHECKS
The Wall Township Parks and Recreation Department has made it mandatory that all volunteer coaches who are associated with youth sports in Wall Township complete a background check. For applicants convenience, the background check can be completed in a few minutes and Wall Township Parks and Recreation will notify applicants via email with the determination of eligibility based on the findings of the background check. The background check is free of charge and applicants will be notified within a week of their eligibility to volunteer. The Wall Knights Wrestling Club Administrators will be able to access the list to determine if coaches have been approved to coach. After completing the background check please email Frank Kuhl at
[email protected] to notify that you have completed the background check. The link to the background check is
