About Rugged Cross Wrestling Academy

WHO WE ARE Dallas and Amber Schurg surrendered to God’s call for ministry in their life in the Spring 2022. A year later, God gave them a burden for youth through wrestling which led to organizing practices and competitions through the completion of their first season (2023-24). “I have been around the sport of wrestling since 1997 as a competitor and later a coach at every level from youth to college. After trusting in Jesus as my Savior in 2002, wrestling had significant impact on my life and paired well with my walk in faith. I believe wrestling benefits children through toughness, personal accountability, character building, and fun. Wrestling is more than a sport, it’s a way of life.” Thank you for considering the Rugged Cross Wrestling Academy. It is the honor our lives to train your child in the sport of wrestling and teach them the impacts that Christ can have in their life. Colossians 3:23 OUR APPROACH We are not your average wrestling organization. We seek to improve upon the high pressure, results-driven, and often [no] fun wrestling atmosphere. We desire to build up young wrestlers to achieve their goals athletically and grow them spiritually as they develop physically. During each practice, our wrestlers are presented with fun wrestling-games, technique sessions, play-wrestling (sparring), and live scenarios. We teach wrestling through fundamentals and core positions. Also, each practice is anchored by a Biblical application/challenge focused on the lives of our students. We encourage a competitive atmosphere through hard work, team-building, and fun. OUR MISSION: To enrich the lives of youth wrestlers and their families through hard work, fun, and Biblical principles. OUR VISION: To further the eternal redemptive purposes of Jesus Christ through the sport of wrestling. OUR CORE VALUES: · Faith Over Fear · Full Effort · Struggle Well · Serve Others
