Scottish Wrestling is delighted to celebrate the successful delivery of our 2026 Summer Wrestling Camps, delivered in partnership with Glasgow Wrestling Club and WRSTL, and funded by sportscotland's 2026 Summer of Sport campaign.
The Summer of Sport is a £20 million Scottish Government initiative, facilitated by sportscotland, giving young people aged 3 to 26 the chance to get active in a landmark year of sport that includes the FIFA World Cup and the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Thanks to the funding awarded to Scottish Wrestling, we were able to keep the camps affordable so that no young person missed out.
Over three weeks in the summer, camps ran Monday to Friday at:
29th June - 3rd July - Palace of Art
6th July - 10th July - Fortified Futures
13th July - 17th July - Reaper Grappling
Each camp was hosted by the Team Scotland Wrestling coaching team, led by three-time British Champion Ross McFarlane. Young wrestlers of all levels, many stepping onto the mats for the very first time, enjoyed a week packed with fun, games and everything wrestling, growing in skill, confidence and friendship along the way.
A huge thank you to sportscotland and the 2026 Summer of Sport for making these camps possible, to our partners at Glasgow Wrestling Club and WRSTL, to our fantastic coaches and volunteers, and to every young wrestler and family who took part.
