Our lewiston Club is coached by Ross Spencer who started Maine Premier Wrestling club in 2025. Before starting MPW Ross spent 4 years coaching in Maine, between private lessons, coaching at Portland Hs and Recon fitness. Before coaching in Maine Ross was away from the sport for 8 years. This time away helped Ross realize how much of a role wrestling has played into his daily life. Ross Coaches wrestling to not only share his passion for the sport of wrestling but to help grow wrestling throughout the new England region, both in numbers and in competition level.
Coach Ross believes in systems based development, We build on the same drills throughout the year, adding technique to the positions and refining throughout each competition season.
Coach Ross acts as the Operations Lead For Maine United Wrestling.
Outside of wrestling Ross is part owner/operator of New Spoke Farm, a MOFGA Certified Organic vegetable farm in West Paris.
The System
At MPW we focus less on specific techniques and more on wrestling positions and body mechanics. So much of wrestling is body awareness and muscle memory. We like to foster an environment where our wrestlers can be creative and be individuals within our wrestling system. There is a place for every wrestler at MPW.
The MPW wrestling system is based on consistency. We do not run practice like a clinic. we do not show a bunch of technique and wrestle live for 30 minutes per practice. we consistently drill the same positions and sequences every practice, adding a little each week. This system is designed with development in mind. If you are struggling to get better This is the place for you.
