Training Camp FAQs

How much money should be brought?
Campers wanting to purchase merchandise (shirts, shorts, etc.) should bring money for these items. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided daily, but wrestlers will have the option to buy food and drinks at night. Please plan ahead and send a limited amount of money with your wrestler to avoid any problems.

What happens if a wrestler becomes injured or ill during camp?
At all wrestling sessions there are student medical trainers on-hand to administer immediate medical attention. Also, if your wrestler becomes seriously injured or sick during camp, the Alliance Hospital is less than one mile from campus. If your wrestler becomes ill and has to leave camp early, you will be refunded the prorated amount based on how long the camper was at camp.

What type of payment do you accept?
All payments must be made prior to check-in. We will accept personal checks or certified checks through the mail. We can take credit cards through our online registration.

If a camper drives, what happens with their car and car keys?
Wrestlers are allowed to leave their cars parked on campus. The camp director will keep car keys locked up for the entire week. When the campers are ready to leave, their keys will be returned to them.

Can parents come to watch?
All sessions are open to the parents, coaches and friends of the participating wrestlers. Spectators are welcome to sit matside during both technique and competition sessions, and video cameras are permitted.

Why should I attend a training camp?
Our intensive training camp is intended to teach what it takes to be a champion. There is no secret to success. Hard work, dedication, and discipline are how champions are made. By putting our campers in a pure training environment, they will be able to take home a new mindset on training.

What’s the point of getting in great shape in the middle of the summer?
It’s true that you will likely lose much of your conditioning before the season begins. However, this camp is not about getting you in good shape; it is about teaching you how to push your body to the limit to achieve your wrestling goals.

What type of technique will be taught?
Our focus is not on “clinic moves.” We focus on improving your basic skills and teaching the proper way to drill. We teach a number of technique series that will work at all levels of competition.

Where will campers eat and sleep?
Campers will stay on campus in one of the college resident halls. Three meals will be provided daily.
