Mountain Forge ◆ Pocono Mountain, PA
Alpha Dawgz is Mountain Forge's advanced wrestling club for boys in junior high and high school who are ready for a more competitive room. Experienced coaching. Competitive training partners. Every practice matters.
The Pack is built for wrestlers who want more from themselves.
Every practice brings together athletes who are committed to improving. Coaches provide honest feedback. Training partners challenge one another. Everyone is expected to work hard, stay focused, and help raise the level of the room.
Our training emphasizes sound technique, attention to detail, and consistent effort. We believe athletes improve by showing up, embracing challenges, and learning from every match, whether they win or lose.
The expectation is simple: leave the room better than you walked in.
Before we go
Our wrestlers earn results because of the work they put in every day.
Fifty years of experience as both a competitor and a coach opens doors most clubs can't. From big ticket events with back stage passes and meet & greets to elite wrestlers coming into our rooms to train our kids.

Alpha Dawgz is our advanced boys program for junior high and high school wrestlers.
Athletes train year-round and compete at local, district, regional, state, and national events. Whether preparing for a varsity season or national competition, practices are designed to help every wrestler continue improving.
Our athletes compete throughout the season at local, district, state, regional, and national events, representing Mountain Forge wherever they step on the mat. Wrestlers entered in national tournaments are required to hold a current USA Wrestling Athlete Membership Card.

Learning from different coaches and competitors helps athletes grow.
Each month we bring accomplished wrestlers into the room to teach technique, share their experience, and expose our athletes to different styles of wrestling.
Our wrestlers regularly learn from elite high school athletes, NCAA All-Americans, national champions, and world-level competitors, including Jordan Oliver, Nate Jackson, Jax Forrest, Bo Bassett, Jason Nolf, Roman Bravo-Young, and many others.

Every young athlete deserves access to the coaching, wellness, and life skills that help them become stronger on and off the mat.
Mountain Forge is a program of The Heallist Foundation. Through donor-funded scholarships and subsidized memberships, we help remove financial barriers so more young athletes can train, compete, and grow.
Our athletes also gain access to recovery, mobility, breathwork, nutrition education, mindset training, and opportunities that extend well beyond the wrestling room.
If cost is a barrier, we encourage families to reach out. We believe opportunity should be determined by commitment and effort, not financial circumstances.
Coach Carm brings more than thirty years in wrestling to the Alpha Dawgz room, first as a national-level competitor and then as a coach who has developed champions across the sport. He coaches with honest feedback and high standards, and he pushes each athlete to reach what he is capable of.
"My goal is for every athlete to reach their highest potential and achieve their dreams. I push them hard mentally and physically to bring out the greatness they may not see in themselves. Hard Work, Dedication, Sacrifice and Accountability are the foundation of what we do."

Thanks for signing up. A coach will reach out when a spot opens on a dual team.
The best way to experience Alpha Dawgz is to spend a night in the room. Your first practice is on us. Bring your wrestling shoes, a positive attitude, and a willingness to work. We'll take care of the rest.
Cost should never be the reason a young athlete misses the opportunity to train. Scholarships and subsidized memberships are available through The Heallist Foundation.
