Our experience with Viera Hammers has been nothing short of incredible. The coaching staff creates an environment built on hard work, resilience, and respect—values that extend far beyond the mat.
More than just teaching technique, the coaches instill discipline, perseverance, and sportsmanship, shaping kids into confident and driven individuals. The sense of community is just as strong, with teammates pushing each other to be their best.
Wrestling isn’t easy, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. The lessons learned here—commitment, mental toughness, and hard work—prepare kids for success in every aspect of life.
If you want a sport that builds character and confidence, youth wrestling is it. And with the right coaches, the experience is truly life-changing!

My son has wrestled all 4 years of high school under Jason Custer and Chris Zuniga as his coaches. Not just 'in season', but also off-season through the Viera Hammers Wrestling Club. Most parents have heard that wrestling is one of the hardest sports anyone can do. It will grow, develop, challenge, mature and strengthen your child more than you could ever imagine! Wrestling may not be for everyone, but I feel everyone should at least try it!
My daughter (who plays competitive travel softball) is an incoming Freshman and because of watching her brother the last 4 years, and more importantly seeing the girls program grow and flourish, she is trying wrestling for the first time!
The coaches are extremely approachable and always quick to respond and make themselves available to the parents. The relationship that the coaches have with the wrestlers is very unique and is made up of mutual respect, sometimes met with tough love but always full of compassion because they want to see your wrestler reach their goals and succeed! Both coaches have their children in the program as well which says a lot!
If you are looking to increase confidence in your child, have them learn to be challenged persevere, overcome any obstacles in their life I would highly recommend them coming to this sport and this team!
