About Callan
Callan is a growing and successful IKWF and Freestyle/Greco off-season program. Callan is run by a fantastic group of coaches who motivate and challenge our wrestlers to be the best version of themselves. Our IKWF program is led by high school head wrestling coach, Ryan Cumbee. Owen Gerdes, a young and ambitious coach with a rich family history in the sport, is leading our Varsity room. Our Junior Varsity team is fortunate to have former collegiate wrestler and current NCAA D1 referee, Eric McGill, as their head coach. Our Freestyle/Greco program is led by Ryan and Ben Gerdes, accomplished high school coach and former wrestler. Much more than a wrestling club, Callan is a family with kids, parents, and families who support each other and have fun throughout the season.
