Advanced Beginner

This practice is meant to increase a kid’s skill level, intensity, toughness, all while they are still pretty young. Sometimes there is discipline that involves extra conditioning or yelling to encourage effort. We have kid’s anywhere from 5 years old to 10 year’s old in this practice (K - 4/5th grade). Our weights here are usually 45lbs to roughly 80lbs. They can start while still very new to the sport of wrestling, especially with more athletic kids and kids whose parents/siblings have also wrestled before. With our girls especially, we let them stay in this class while they are still in 4th - 6th grade if they are new but our more advanced kids in 4th grade will enjoy jumping up into the next class. 

Coaches here have any where from High School state qualifier to D1 Level experience. We ask parents stay off the mat and can help encourage or coach some from the side, but leave most coaching to our coaches. Our coach to wrestler ratio here is usually 12:1
