The club’s co-founders are the club’s owner, Samuel Walters, and Head Wrestling Coach at Germantown Academy, Solomon Fleckman. Walters and Fleckman will be assisted by two-time All-American, Jim Reilly, two-time National Prep runner-up, Tom Iredale, three-time PIAA placewinner, Coach Tim Harner, and former PIAA Champion, Coach Brent Fiorito, among others. This coaching staff will collectively bring over a century’s worth of experience within the sport to the community. Broad Axe, Pennsylvania is a neighborhood just north of Ft. Washington, which is home to Germantown Academy. Additionally, a broad axe is a large-headed axe used for shaping logs. According to Coach Fleckman, “The Broad Axe Wrestling Club was named as a nod to our locale, as well as a metaphor in that we very much aim to shape young people through the sport of wrestling.”
