Camp Description
At the camp you will learn the necessary fundamentals of the sport of wrestling along with proper body- positioning, offensive moves, defensive moves, blocking and defending against your opponents attack and attack style wrestling as well as chain wrestling. Our approach is to teach basics then continue education through different games and drills. This approach will demonstrate concepts of one on one wrestling as well as teaching the essentials of wrestling as part of a team. We will review rules and techniques, possible ways to score in a match as well as learning many new practical wrestling games. Every youth of all levels and abilities are welcome to come and learn about one of the oldest Olympic sports and have a great time doing it!
