About Our Team

The Frisco Bombers/Bombers Black Wrestling Club was created in 2003 for kids in the Frisco area to experience the sport and competition of wrestling. We are committed to providing a program that helps build confidence, integrity, leadership, self respect, respect for others, and teamwork. Our talented and dedicated coaching staff teaches basic and higher level techniques needed to excel in wrestling.
