Real American Freestyle (RAF), the first unscripted professional freestyle wrestling league, has announced the launch of RAF CLUBS, a national network of elite wrestling clubs. The first RAF CLUB will open in Tampa, Florida, through the Beebe Trained Wrestling Academy, owned by RAF athlete and coach Conor Beebe.

Expanding Opportunities for Young Athletes

RAF CLUBS will offer youth wrestling programs, private coaching, camps, clinics, and performance training. The initiative aims to connect young athletes, coaches, and families directly to the broader RAF professional ecosystem, providing a fully integrated development pipeline under a single brand.

The launch of RAF CLUBS follows the creation of RAF NEXT GEN, a national youth tournament series scheduled to debut on July 19 in Milwaukee. Together, the clubs and the tournament series aim to link everyday local training with national competition and professional opportunities.

According to RAF CEO and Co-Founder Chad Bronstein, "The future of wrestling isn’t built on event night. It’s built every day in wrestling rooms across the country, and the demand from young wrestlers to be involved in RAF has been a driving force for developing this pathway."

RAF will celebrate its one-year anniversary with RAF12 in Cleveland on August 22. Athletes, families, and club owners looking for more information on the network or expansion opportunities can visit www.realamericanfreestyle.com/clubs.
