Asociación Juvenil Lucha Libre TYRIS

TYRIS Wrestling is a youth association based in Valencia, Spain. We use professional wrestling—combining physical activity, performing arts, storytelling and teamwork—as an innovative tool for youth participation, non-formal education and community engagement.

Our organisation runs regular wrestling training, live events, intensive camps, workshops and volunteering opportunities. Young people can participate not only as athletes or performers, but also in areas such as event production, communication, audiovisual creation, commentary, refereeing, coaching and project organisation. This allows participants with different interests and abilities to take responsibility, develop their talents and contribute to a shared project.

Our activities help young people develop self-confidence, discipline, creativity, communication skills, teamwork, resilience and a sense of initiative. We promote an inclusive and respectful environment in which participants can express themselves, build meaningful relationships and learn through practical experience. We are also committed to increasing the participation and visibility of young women in a field where they remain underrepresented.

TYRIS Wrestling has experience organising training activities and public events for audiences of different sizes, as well as an international wrestling camp welcoming participants from several countries. Our team brings together experience in youth work, sports training, performance, event management, communication and community building.

We are interested in developing European partnerships connected to youth participation, inclusion, healthy lifestyles, creativity, employability, volunteering and the professional development of youth and sports workers. Through Erasmus+ and other European programmes, we would like to exchange methods, learn from organisations in other countries and create innovative projects in which young people take an active role in designing and implementing activities.

We can contribute a distinctive educational approach, practical expertise in engaging young people through professional wrestling, experience in producing participatory events and a strong commitment to long-term international cooperation.
