TRAIN THE SPARTAN WAY
WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN WRESTLING FOR YEARS AND NEED CHALLENGING TRAINING PARTNERS AND ADVANCED TRAINING TECHNIQUES, OR YOU ARE JUST GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE SPORT, SPARTAN WRESTLING CLUB HAS A PLACE FOR YOU!
Three Levels of Instruction
JR. SPARTANS: GRADES 3-8
- Beginner/Intermediate
Wrestlers will learn and reinforce basic wrestling techniques and skills while learning how to apply them in match situation. Most wrestlers should expect to work out in this room for their first two to three years. - Experienced/Advanced
This level moves at a fast pace and is geared toward experienced wrestlers. Participants must have two to three years of experience, a commitment to compete in the USA series, and the recommendation of the coaching staff.
MINI SPARTANS: GRADES K-2
- Younger wrestlers will practice at shorter sessions designed specifically for their ages and attention level. (Sessions end at 7:15PM)
Compete as much as you want!
We will send wrestlers and coaches to local AAU tournaments as well as both AAU State and the USA State Tournament series. Other opportunities for competition may also be available.
Tournament fees average around $20 and are pay-as-you-go, due at the time of sign-up for a tournament.
