Built in Danville. Built for athletes.
Danville, Virginia's Regional Training Center — founded by Samuel Braswell and his staff to give the next generation of wrestlers the coaching, competition, and character it takes to win.
registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizationThe development of future athletes.
Danville RTC exists for one reason: to develop the athletes who will carry this sport — and this community — forward. Not just better wrestlers, but stronger students, steadier leaders, and young people who know how to work.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, everything we do is reinvested into the kids on our mats. There is no ownership stake, no profit margin — just a coaching staff and a community pouring into the next generation.
From a wrestler's first practice to their first podium, we walk the whole road with them.
Three things we build into every athlete.
Skill on the mat
High-level technique, drilled with intent. Our room runs on championship standards — position, pace, and the details that separate good from great.
Strength of character
Discipline, humility, and grit under pressure. Wrestling is the vehicle; the person it builds is the point.
Opportunity to compete
Travel to the tournaments that matter. We make sure talent — not a family's budget — decides how far an athlete goes.
Years of championship mat time, in your corner.
Danville RTC was founded by Samuel Braswell and a staff of coaches who have lived this sport at its highest levels. Between them: years of championship mat time — as competitors and as coaches who have put athletes on podiums.
That experience shows up in every practice plan, every corner of every match, and every conversation with a kid who needs to hear it.
Every dollar, working for athletes.
When you give to Danville RTC, there's no mystery and no middleman. Every dollar donated goes to three things — and only three things.
Travel
Vans, hotels, and entry fees to the regional and national tournaments where our athletes get seen, tested, and better.
Mats
Safe, competition-grade mats and equipment — the foundation every practice and every athlete depends on.
Mentorship
Coaching, guidance, and the one-on-one time that turns a promising kid into a confident competitor.
