About GYA Grapple Yukon Association is a not-for-profit sports association that is incorporated under the Yukon Societies Act on March 28th, 2022. We are the Territorial governing body for the sport of amateur wrestling in the Yukon. We are in the process to be an affiliate of Wrestling Canada and its official representative in the Yukon. GYA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that is comprised of a cross section of community members from across the Yukon, with representation from the athletes, coaches, and officials. Our Board of Directors set the policy and direction of the Association. To support the Association's efforts, there are small number of volunteers who serve as coaches and in process of being officials, and who are in the process to liaise with the communities. Presently at it's infancy - there are approximately dozen plus registered members of the GYA - male and female wrestlers, coaches, and soon to be officials.

The word wrestling was already used in few previous registered societies. Ugh the red tape and the lengthy process to reclaim a name...... The word grapple was not taken yet. Plus if you know the Yukon - we are small population and our athletes and coaches are typically involved in other sports as well. GYA does work with other combative sport organization and programs in collaborative effort to get the best of our members.
