In-Season Session

Nov 5 - Feb 25, 2026

Our in-season program is built to keep wrestlers progressing throughout the season while complementing their school or club training. Designed for club, middle school, and high school athletes, each session blends high-level skill work with athletic development to build complete, confident competitors. Practices combine technique introduction and reinforcement, controlled sparring, hard drilling, and live wrestling — giving athletes the right mix of technical instruction, intensity, and match simulation to translate training into results.

Our signature Hybrid Hour format features:

  • 30 minutes of strength, conditioning and athletic performance training to develop power, endurance, and explosiveness. Additional recovery promoting methods will be included.

  • 30 minutes of focused wrestling skill development and drilling to refine technique, positioning, and movement.

This balanced approach keeps the athletes strong, sharp, and competition-ready all season long.
