Next Level Wrestling

Coach Brian has been one of the most humble, patient, and knowledgeable coaches we've ever had the pleasure of working with. From day one, he took the time to actually get to know my son. Instead of jumping straight into training, he asked him questions to understand his personality and how he learns best. That level of care and attention truly impressed me. I've never seen my son pick up wrestling and training techniques so quickly. His confidence, discipline, and excitement have grown tremendously in such a short time, and I know that's a direct reflection of Coach's ability to connect with each athlete on an individual level. We're incredibly grateful for everything he's poured into our son already. It's been one of the best experiences we've had, and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you for making such a positive impact both on and off the mat.

From the very first time we met Coach Daly, of Next Level Wrestling, I knew this program was different. He took the time to explain his expectations, how he runs practices, and what he expects from both the athletes and their parents. He’s extremely punctual, responds quickly to text messages, communicates well, and always keeps everyone informed. What impressed me most is that Coach Daly doesn’t just teach wrestling—he studies each child. He takes the time to understand how they think, what motivates them, where they struggle, and how they learn best. He quickly figured out how my 8-year-old son learns and tailored his coaching to fit him. That kind of personal attention is rare. I was equally impressed by Coach Daly's knowledge, experience, and background. After learning more about his career and reading the book he wrote, it became obvious that he brings a tremendous amount of expertise and passion to every practice. My son has attended several wrestling programs throughout the Chicagoland area. Many were overcrowded, leaving little opportunity for individual instruction. He didn’t enjoy those experiences and would often become overwhelmed. At Next Level Wrestling, it’s the complete opposite. Coach Daly keeps the classes manageable so every child receives quality instruction and personal attention. My son genuinely looks forward to every practice. The results speak for themselves. My son trains wrestling just once a week, yet it has noticeably increased his confidence and significantly improved his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Watching him confidently hit double-leg and single-leg takedowns during BJJ training has been incredible. He’s more aggressive, more confident, and no longer afraid to wrestle. Coach Daly has a special way of connecting with kids. He’s patient, encouraging, and knows exactly when to push them while keeping the atmosphere positive. I also love that he plays music during practice—it keeps the kids motivated, focused, and having fun. Wrestling is one of the toughest sports there is, and Coach Daly has found a way to make hard work enjoyable. As a Deputy Chief of Police, I oversee training, instruction, organization, and professional development. Because of that background, I naturally pay close attention to how instructors teach, communicate, and lead. I don’t hand out compliments lightly. Coach Daly runs an outstanding program. He is organized, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the success of every child who walks through his doors. If you’re looking for a coach who develops not only better wrestlers but stronger, more confident young athletes, I can’t recommend Coach Daly and Next Level Wrestling highly enough. In my opinion, it’s one of the best youth wrestling programs in the Chicagoland area, and we’re grateful to be a part of it.

Our son has been working with Coach Daly for a little over a year and has increased his strength and confidence tremendously. Coach has taught him both wrestling and life skills that have helped him on and off the mat.

Next level wrestling is an amazing place to train and improve for all levels. Coach Daly is very dedicated and knowledgeable coach.

Great place for wrestling. Passionate coach who can perfect your game.

My Daughter has been attending lessons at Next Level Wrestling working with Coach Daly. I can honestly say he has worked very hard on her technique, but more importantly on her mental approach towards wrestling both on the mat and off. These lessons are well worth the time and money invested. He teaches a multitude of different techniques to help improve the wrestler as a whole. Happy to have found this Coach.

Brian Daly has built my son’s confidence so much over the last 8months it’s amazing to see how far he has come. If you want to build your kids' confidence and teach them how to use their bodies be sure to contact Next Level Wrestling

Coach Daley is an amazing coach. My son had no experience what so ever and he has taught him so much in only 8 months. I feel like my son has been doing this since pampers. Coach Daley has techniques that can take you very far the sport and keep you thrilled and entertained to pass the knowledge. Next Level is a great place to be.

Coach Daly is a great coach. His passion for wrestling is infectious, and he is really good at explaining technique to young kids. My son is 7 with no wrestling experience, and coach got him right in there learning and drilling on the mats with other kids from day 1. The facility is clean and every other staff member I have met has been friendly. I’m really thankful we found Next Level Wrestling.

Our 5 yr old fine tuned any wrestling skills he had learned and he also learned new moves. Most of all, he became more independent with practice and learned to keep his cool and keep trying, even when losing. His endurance also really improved. Thanks Coach Daly for consistently holding his attention while also developing his maturity and skills in athletics!
