Before Shamrock Wrestling Club ever opened its doors in Somerset, its founders were learning the sport right here — on the mats of Warren and Bristol.
Andrew Fallon, founder of Shamrock and an NCAA Division I wrestler, got his start at Warren Wrestling Club in Warren, RI. He trained alongside Bristol’s finest wrestlers and became part of a tight-knit wrestling community that spanned Warren and Bristol families. That history is in Shamrock’s DNA.

Andrew’s head coaching partner, Andrew Howard, shares those same Bristol/Warren roots. Both coaches were on the Warren Wrestling roster together at the 2009 Coventry Renegades Tournament. They came up through the same program, trained with the same wrestlers, and built the same character that wrestling develops.

Coming up under coaches like Martell and Drance — names that are staples in Bristol and Warren wrestling — Coach Andy and Coach Howard learned the sport from the same community your kids are part of today. Shamrock Wrestling Club carries that legacy forward. We know Bristol wrestling because we grew up in it.
Shamrock’s founders earned their wrestling pedigree in Warren and Bristol. They trained under coaches like Martell and Drance, competed alongside Bristol wrestlers who went on to succeed at Mount Hope and LaSalle, and carried that tradition into everything Shamrock does today.
Our head coaches are NCAA Division I wrestlers, state champions, and New England champions who grew up in the Bristol/Warren wrestling community. They built Shamrock to give back to the sport and the region that shaped them.

Wrestling requires mental toughness and strategic thinking. Kids learn to focus, prepare, and execute—skills that transfer directly to school, work, and life.
In wrestling, you fail and get back up. Kids learn that losing isn’t the opposite of winning—it’s part of winning. They build unshakeable character.
Wrestling is one of the most physically demanding sports. Kids develop strength, cardiovascular fitness, and body awareness while having fun competing.
Wrestling builds mutual respect between competitors. Kids learn sportsmanship, humility, and the value of community. These values last a lifetime.
Whether it’s their first wrestling match or their twenty-first, kids experience real achievement. That builds genuine confidence—not fake—that comes from hard work and improvement.
