History
The Bulldog Wrestling Club (BWC) was founded in 2005 for the purpose of introducing lower and middle school wrestlers to the sport and preparing them to become outstanding competitors for the Liberty Christian Academy (LCA) varsity program.
The BWC began in 2005 with 17 team members, and has averaged 20 team members per year since that time. The first team was led by head coach Bob Good and assisted by Doug Ayers, Steve Good, and Eric Lingenfelter.
The BWC has competed as a member of the Central Virginia Youth Wrestling Association (CVYWA) since 2008, and became a USA Wrestling affiliated program in 2013.
