These are great practices to start getting in the right frame of mind before the fall session. The cost will be $10 per practice and must be paid upon arrival at each practice.
FALL SESSION: SEPTEMBER 12th-OCTOBER 29th (MONDAY, TUESDAY & THURSDAY @ 6:00 P.M.)
Session 1 is designed for the elementary, middle school, high school wrestler who is looking to get a head start on their upcoming season. Athletes in this group will be provided with continued mastery of basic skills, introduction to new advanced skills, intense drilling, combative wrestling, and conditioning. This pre-season group will gear their training towards local and national pre-season competitions, as well as, proper preparation for their upcoming season. Due to very large numbers the past two years, this group may be split up into two different groups and two different time slots. I will assess the group number when the session starts.
