In the elementary session we will focus on the foundational techniques that lead to long-term success and safety in the sport of wrestling. In the middle school session we will teach more advanced techniques that will compliment what wrestlers are learning at their middle school practices as well as provide individualized instruction to our members so they can start to develop their style as a wrestler.
