HISTORY
Top of the Podium's mission is to grow and improve the sport of wrestling. Our incredible journey has taken twists and turns, but it all started when we opened an impressive 4,750 SF facility in Sterling, VA in 2014. We quickly needed more space and moved into a 20,000 SF wrestling center in 2018 which became widely-recognized as the premier, independent wrestling facility in the country. In addition to running countless tournaments, camps and programs for beginner to advanced wrestlers of all ages, TOP has promoted wrestling in the local community by visiting schools, running advertisements, etc.

Despite TOP's amazing success, during the COVID pandemic, management decided upon a new vision with the potential to make an even bigger impact on the sport of wrestling. We decided to close our large, showcase facility and focus on helping others open TOP Wrestling Centers and innovating in new ways, including opening an experimental "private club" wrestling facility called TOP 24/7 which operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Beginning in 2024, TOP has concluded all such activities and is now focused solely on assisting our sport's newest professional league (CLAW) featuring the top wrestlers in the country. The emergence of a vibrant, sustainable professional league is a game-changer for the sport of wrestling, and TOP is thrilled to support CLAW in this mission of growing wrestling at all levels.
