SPRING PROGRAMS 2021
TOP WRESTLING CLUB
TOP Wrestling Club practices twice a week from March 15 to June 2 (Mon/Wed 5:00-6:45). The club is for experienced middle and high school wrestlers and is led by local high school coaches from Independence, Freedom, Tuscarora, Potomac Falls and other schools. This season, the club will introduce and emphasize Freestyle and Greco Roman wrestling (the styles used in international wrestling). Not only are the benefits of these styles numerous, the switch in emphasis provides an often needed "change of page" after the winter season. In addition to practices, coaches will be taking the wrestlers to numerous tournaments. Fees are $149 for the spring session. Wrestlers must have active USA Wrestling membership. Space is limited.
