"Grapplers was a great opportunity to get to do something that not every kid gets a chance to do. Not only do you better yourself throughout your early years of wrestling, but you also grow a tight bond with your teammates that you will also be able to stick with throughout high school as well! Grapplers also prepares you for making the leap from middle school to high school wrestling. You are taught high-level technique along with drilling with great wrestling partners that will get you to where you want to be as a high school wrestler. GI Grapplers provided me with the process I needed to become a State Champion in high school."

"Wrestling for GI Grapplers under Coach Morrison really skyrocketed my skill level and understanding of the sport, as well as my love for wrestling. Coach Morrison is a great coach who teaches high-level technique well. The same goes for the rest of the coaching staff. The summer camps, practices, and preseason tournaments allowed me to continue to progress as the years went on. I wrestling for GI Grapplers from 6th grade, all the way up to my last year of high school. The years I wrestled for this program during middle school prepared me well for high school. It was the same for high school to college. Some of the best memories I have stem from GI Grapplers and I am very thankful to have been a part of it."

"I can honestly say I was nervous about my son wrestling when he started, but thanks to Coach Joey Morrison and the great GI Grappler staff, I now love to watch my son wrestle! I have seen my son develop strong wrestling skills, great sportsmanship, friendships with teammates and other competitors, courage, and love of a sport that continues through injuries, losses, and wins alike. I would choose no other program for my son. The coaches care about him and the instruction he is receiving is top notch!"

"We are starting our seventh year with the GI Grapplers organization. It is unquestionably one of the elite clubs in the state. We are lucky to have the program in Grand Island, as it provides opportunities for all kids from beginner to the top elite level. Very few clubs can do that. Coach Morrison and the other coaches are top notch and truly take an interest in your child. Our sons have enjoyed participating with like-minded wrestlers and have made lifetime friends. As parents, the support and camaraderie of other parents and coaches has been invaluable. We feel very fortunate to be a part of GI Grapplers."
