We are offering a “10 Week strength/conditioning & wrestling technique program,” beginning on May 31th 2016 and ending on August 11th 2016. We want the kids to enjoy the summer, so we will only train Monday-Thursday so that we can give their body time to rest and have fun! The week of July 4th-8th we will shutdown in observation of the holidays and also a great half point into our camp yet while a few wrestlers will go off to Wisconsin and compete at USA Wrestling Kids Nationals.
We were looking at running approximately 14-16 hand-picked wrestlers through this summer yet we had a lot of responses and now currently 20+ looking to go no more than 30.
This program is for wrestlers who are committed to improving and preparing for next season. One thing all athletes need especially at the developmental level is repetition of the techniques they are taught. The more repetitions an athlete gets, the more comfortable and confident they will feel in high pressure situations. Our staff for this summer includes; current/former collegiate wrestlers, local high school stars and coaches that are all associated within our program. The workouts and custom coaching plans for this summer have been based on my experience both as an athlete at the Olympic Training Center while competing with the armed forces and also my experiences while serving with our US Special Forces. I am a firm believer in this model as each week of this camp will feed into the next. At the beginning of camp we will host a physical fitness test for each of our athletes so that we have quantitative data to maintain a baseline of each athlete, and then be able to adjust their progress.
Here is the initial demographics on the first 16 to commit and give you an idea of what will be in camp this summer.
One Triple Crown
2/16 placed both Freestyle & Greco at USAW Kids Nationals in the Top 5
2/16 Tulsa National Placers
3/16 Liberty National Placers
4/16 United States Junior Open Championships Placers
4/16 USAWKS Folkstyle State Champions
10/16 USAWKS State Placers
12/16 USAWKS State Qualifiers
Strength & Conditioning and Wrestling: $200 per month
Either or: $125
Strength & Conditioning: 9:00AM-10:30
Technique Group 1: 12-2pm
Technique Group 2: 2-4pm
Our intent is to provide a summer long program that provides wrestlers a chance to get a lot of repetitions, focus on strength/conditioning, and introduction to advance technique & concepts. This is a beta course we are running, a first of its kind in this area. I firmly believe that this will serve our wrestlers well, that partake in this camp. This is essentially the equivalent of one season (10 weeks) under their belt to their respective knowledge level.
My staff is going to provide hands on feedback to our athletes and also to the families in the form of a weekly report. Most often kids go to camps and get limited feedback and interaction from the staff where the ratio of staff to campers is at 20:1 or higher. Our camp will maintain to 10:1 if not a 5:1 ratio of athletes to staff. Our intent is to provide that feedback that is necessary in the development of our athletes.

Respect,
James
