In addition to our Recreational Team, River Dell Jr. Wrestling competes in the Northern New Jersey Youth Wrestling League (NNJYWL) with our “Duals Team.” This is a highly competitive league where teams face off in high school-style dual matches, featuring one wrestler per weight class. Unlike our Recreational Team—where matches are paired based on weight, age, and skill—Dual Team matches are paired solely by weight.

In addition to participating in 7 or more dual meets, the Duals Team also attends several advanced tournaments, including the season-ending NNJYWL Tournament.

2024–2025 Season Recap
This past season, the Hawks captured both the league dual championship and the end-of-season tournament title—repeating their tournament victory from the previous year.
