About Us
Live Oak Wrestling Club (LOWC) was sanctioned in 2017 by Coach Jay Reyes, a long-time educator & coach who moved to the Santa Cruz area in 2016. Coach Reyes started wrestling competitively in middle school & continued his wrestling career into college. After completing his degree in Human Performance & Sport, Coach Reyes was eager to get into the classroom & BACK ON THE MAT!
Coach Reyes started LOWC to provide students a year-round opportunity to stay active & participate in wrestling tournaments outside the regular school season. Since then, the club's mission has expanded & it's our goal to help wrestlers "be better than they were the day before, in every single aspect of their lives." Coach Reyes loves the sport of wrestling & believes in its ability to build both strength & confidence in its participants.
