1. Elementary School Early Season: Open to Kids K-5 and running from November 12th through January 23rd. The Elementary Early Season program aims to get kids started in wrestling focusing on basics and fundamentals. It is also open to kids who have experience and want to continue building skills. It is coached by the same staff that works with the older wrestlers but the focus is a little less intense. At the end of this part of your season the coaches and parents will evaluate whether each wrestler should continue on with the tougher second or "Late " portion of the season

2. Elementary School Late Season: The Late Season Program for Elementary School kids (K-5) is a time to step up to more difficult concepts and techniques with more focus on conditioning, competition and mastery of the sport. Most very young and less experienced ES kids will not graduate to this level unless they show a core competency in the basic skills taught in the Early Season program. If you do move up, you will be in the room with our MS kids doing all of the same things they will be doing.

3. Middle School Late Season: This is the program that allows the MS wrestler to focus on technical growth and mastery of his sport. It is the portion of our season that begins January 21 all of our focus points toward the IKWF state run in March. Practices will be tough and demanding but will continue to build form the early season format. Two days a week, younger kids will be in the room and we expect older wrestlers to help "train up" some of those younger guys as they are the future of our program. We will compete as a team in the IKWF at sanctioned events on Sundays (and perhaps some Saturdays) through the end of our season in March.

Stats
StrengthWrestling will focus on 7 core components. Each practice will focus on developing all aspects and achieving optimal performance in each one. First, techniques from the neutral position will be taught with an emphasis on aggressiveness and explosiveness. Secondly, techniques on the mat will focus on getting out from the bottom position, while turning your opponent from the top position. The third component is physical strength. Strength will be developed as you must continually move and manipulate your opponent. Conditioning is the fourth aspect and will focus on developing each wrestler’s stamina and cardiovascular endurance. Flexibility is another area that will greatly improve as all body parts will achieve a greater range of motion. Additionally, healthy nutritional habits that provide energy and repair the body will be examined. Finally, the attitude of the wrestlers will improve as their character and work ethic will be tested on a daily basis.
