Fuller Wrestling Center
Fuller Wrestling Center is a nonprofit wrestling center located in the heart of Sandy Springs, with the mission to provide local facilities with great coaching to serve its community, schools and athletes.
AT FWC your athlete, whether a seasoned wrestler or brand new to the mat, will be encouraged and challenged. Wrestling combines strength, endurance, power, agility and technical skill. Whether training to place on the podium; have a great GHSA season; be better at football or a better athlete overall; wrestling at FWC will get you there.
AT FWC, we focus on the athlete. With at least two coaches at every practice, limited class sizes, seasonal camps, and an after school program (ages 4-11), wrestlers receive expert attention; and sport education. As a result, wrestlers become more confident, more knowledgeable, and better prepared.

Is wrestling worth it?
Why should your kid try wrestling?
Wrestling boosts strength, will-power, endurance, agility and over all athletic prowess; wrestling complements many sports like football, martial arts, soccer, lacrosse, gymnastics, swimming, etc.
What sets wrestling apart from other sports - you determine your own outcome. That outcome boils down to three things: Passion, Grit, and Practice.
FWC combines experience with encouragement to guide our wrestlers to be successful on and off the mat.
