"My goal of these services is to grow wrestling in New Jersey. The dying breed it is needs help and I hope to bring some". Steve Rivera Director of Elite Wrestling

1987 NJSIAA State Champ

Elite Wrestling Services is a unique service that aims to support and grow wrestling in New Jersey .

With over 30 years in wrestling and 10 plus years as a club owner I am confident that I can make a difference to your program. My network of Local Colleges including Rutgers University , Rider University , Steven's Institute, TCNJ and our All American Staff opens endless possibilities for your program.

Our Mission is to create and/or manage new or existing wrestling programs creating a strong foundation with implemented curriculum and procedures for your program to build upon. For New Programs we offer “FOUNDATION” , a start-up program template that can be designed specifically to cover your start to finish requirements and goals. For Existing Programs we offer “POWERED” , a Program Enhance Service in which Elite Wrestling Services works under your existing business identity to enhanced your program through our network of resources and implementing a proven curriculum and practice format that has built champions for years.

Terms of Service:
Due to the uniqueness of this service I do not have any set terms or agreements. Each opportunity is addressed as an individual situation with its own solution or plan of attack. Through conversation we will identify the over all result you are striving for and design the program to reach your goals. I have concepts, processes and policies that have been proven to work, but in the end you have the final decision.

FEES:
I don't want to post a general fee since I approach each situation based on the requirement and ultimate goal. I have Standard Service Fee price that includes a full support system for the program we are working on, including rotation of Elite Clinicians as scheduled. In addition to the Standard Fee, I get a percentage of registration of the new students that enroll during our agreement term. This does not include your existing enrolled students. I have the experience to know that my service fees work for both of us. I am confident that you will walk away in the plus as long as you follow the advice that you are paying for in Elite Wrestling Services.

“I am thankful to have met Steve in my tenure as club president. His professional approach to the agreement and overall commitment was everything we could have hoped for and then some. His ability to befriend the kids and parents is a talent not seen in many which causes a family bond that resonates to hard wrestling with a goal oriented approach. During his tenure with our club we were able to finish first in the Jersey Shore League which stands as one of the States toughest leagues. I think that says what he's capable of producing.”
