At the start of the 2005-06 season, the Arizona State University wrestling program moved into its new training home, thanks in part to a joint partnership with Sunkist Kids Wrestling, Inc. The 9,600 square foot complex affords the Sun Devil wrestlers a spacious setting in which to prepare for the best Division I athletes in the nation. The project was set in motion with Sunkist Kids Wrestling, Inc., and the Riches Family acting as major donors. The SKWI organization was granted permission to create the facility and then donated the building back to the University while retaining the option to lease the space for their own use, such as camps and clinics. Private investments also played an integral role in the development of the project. Sunkist Kids Wrestling, Inc., agreed to develop this project with the help of other investors interested in creating a first-class wrestling training facility which is essential in helping Sun Devil student-athletes achieve their potential on the mat. Moving from a smaller training room inside Wells Fargo Arena, the wrestling program equipped its new home with three full size (40 x 40) competition mats spread out over 7,200 square feet of usable mat space. The facility also has the capacity to bring in bleachers for spectators at camps and training sessions. The remaining 2,400 square feet house 40 lockers along with showers and restrooms. Additionally, this area also includes two offices and video areas to help the student-athletes perfect their techniques.
