Session 1 will give an overview of "how to" wrestling; stance, takedowns, escapes, reversals and scoring points. By the end of the camp, athletes will have many foundational skills needed to compete in a wrestling match. Session 1 is geared for K-5 th grade athletes looking to experience the sport but all are welcome to attend.
Session 2 will be advanced training with live wrestling. It is designed for experienced middle school and high school skill levels who want to improve to a championship level. Sound technique, proper drilling, and high percentage moves will be featured. This session will focus on takedowns and escapes.
Both camps will be led by Doug LaCouver who will give a solid foundation for wrestlers to build towards winning seasons next year.
