Overview - Front Royal Raptors

The mission of the Front Royal Raptors is to promote, support, and develop youth scholastic wrestling in Front Royal and surrounding communities.  We focus on fostering the ideals of sportsmanship through participation, competition, and fellowship.  We also work hard to achieve outstanding results on and off the mat.  The Front Royal Raptors won our Mason Dixon League Championship in 2015 and 2016 as well as placing Top 7 overall at the VAWA State Championship each year since 2014.

The Mason Dixon League is a great organization for the development of youth wrestling.  Wrestlers are matched up by age, weight, and skill level so everyone has an opportunity to participate in competitive matches.  No starters and no bench.

League Age Divisions:
Bantam: 7 and Under
Midget: 8 and 9
Junior: 10 and 11
Intermediate: 12 and Older

The Raptors are a member of the 18-team Mason Dixon League.  This league is open to elementary and middle school students ages 6-14. View the Registration Page for more information about signing your wrestler up to be a Raptor.

We begin practice in early November and we compete in Mason Dixon League events during January and February.  We also compete in open tournaments in December and the VAWA State Championship in late February. View the Schedule Page to view a detailed schedule.
